Is this the new bluesnarfing?

Paris. because she knows all about publicity

Not computer viruses ;)

Is it just me or are others suspicious about the current amount of 'hype' surrounding Win7?

How convenient is it that MS (who must have one of the biggest online infrastructures in the world) are having problems with such a 'popular' beta download? Front page news anyone?
