NYC: Microsoft marketing campaign: illegal, irresponsible and dangerous

C|Net is reporting that New York City has ordered Microsoft to remove butterfly decals which were part of Microsoft's promotion of its MSN 8 launch Thursday. Here's a quote from the letter sent to Microsoft

Inasmuch as your organization is noted on the illegal markings, we intend to hold your firm directly responsible for this illegal, irresponsible and dangerous defacing of public property," the letter said.

Well at least they are in the new for something other than a security problem... I guess that's a step up for them. (By the way Pivx reports currently 32 unpatched security holes in IE which is up from 19 about a month ago.)
