Everybody Loves Redmond

I had heard of a virus similar to the European Storm virus, where the e-mail teaser is that Fidel Castro is dead, and stumbled across The Security News Portal seeking details. I didn't find what I was looking for (though an overview can be found here) -- I found something better.

In the midst of numerous Microsoft patch reports was a five-disc DVD set -- "Everybody Loves Redmond: 2007 A New Year of Hilarious Patches." An obvious spoof, the box is not quite ROTFL, but is almost LOL.
