Smile Running Windows viruses with Wine

Hi guys ,
I was surfing Digg.com and found a cool and sort of funny thing.
Check yourself...

It just isn't fair that Windows users get all the viruses. I mean really, shouldn't Linux users be in on the fun as well? Well... thanks to the folks running the Wine project, Linux users can "catch the virus bug" too -- sort of.

& this one too..

Really interesting...

Actually, it was pretty obvious from the post itself that it wasn't something serious.

Yeah, the search of VB sucks anyway.

I love IPB's search.
