Geek speak

"In the antivirus space we have to work really closely with the antivirus vendors because we don't want to natively impact their business."

Microsoft had evidently moved from patching its operating systems to patching the English language to the extent that those of us that speak only early versions of language will soon be unable to communicate at all.

In my primitive world I have yet to encounter "anti-virus space". Maybe if I knew where it was I could move there and my computer would be immune to Netsky and I would never get flu? I suspect in fact that's far too simplistic and it is actually something that Einstein was too stupid to understand...

I am also concerned that something might "natively impact my business". Would this be a group of Aboriginals hurling rocks at my office? Would they follow me if I'm moved into this anti-virus space? Maybe a pro-virus space would be better and they would all die of flu or Netsky or something before I was impacted by their missiles?

It's all very worrying...
