    Why suspicious? I have genuinely never read a news story about a virus sending different versions of itself to different OSs. I’m sure it happens, but it doesn’t seem common at all, and you are claiming it very matter-of-factly so I am interested to know more.

      If you haven’t come across them yet, then i might be a pioneer! Dibs on the patent!

      But your words confuse me. Either it’s not true at all or it happens. You’re sure they exist, though rare. As i said before, suspicious. You might just be one of those rare occurrences after all…

      You wish to be the first acknowledged one, no? It’s alright, you can have the honour. I’ll keep mum about it for you.

        The idea is pretty simple, so it would be surprising if it wasn’t happening at all. But there is a huge difference between “there probably exist some examples that do that” and a sweeping statement about all of them in general.

          and a sweeping statement about all of them in general.

          Or, hear me out here, the ones that don’t aren’t modern… Get it? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

              Hmm… Being too much in the know can at times be as troublesome as being too little.
