Briefly: AAPL upgraded, MS proposal rejected...
In brief: "In ten years of using the Internet, my Macintoshes have never once been infected by a virus, spyware, adware, “pop up” windows, and the like," Simon Kershaw of Church Times says.... Steve and Laurene Jobs attended a party at the Asian Art Museum on Saturday night for Chris Boskin, where "party favors were iPods".... Microsoft has been told its proposal to limit the powers of a non-partisan trustee to monitor its compliance with EU-imposed sanctions is unacceptable, the European Commission said Wednesday.... As reported last week, analysts at Morgan Stanley upgrade Apple from "equal weight" to "overweight," while raising their estimates for the company (the target price is set to $60).

He's not talking 'pop-up windows' of ads on browsers (which are annoying but aren't malware/virus/etc). He's talking about the other pop-up windows, caused by malware and those damn toolbars that get installed in IE and cause internet windows to appear even when you're not surfing the internet.
