Obviously this could be covid misinformation. I am pro vaccine and will get one myself. I saw it on a meme comparing it to covid which is BS

Just wondering if there's any shady Microsoft rumors from the 80s and 90s

I didn't believe it by default. That's why I asked CE

found this

While working with the Computer Center's PDP-10, Gates was responsible for what was probably the first computer virus, a program that copies itself into other programs and ruins data.

Seems like a workplace prank

Windows 10 seems to have cleaned up most of the problems

Unless you deliberately/ignorantly click something and download it

Yeah, Microsoft wasn't really in the antivirus market until Defender, and even then it sucked big time compared to competitors
