Yes.. I noticed that at the end of the article.  :(   But the  
payload still requires some form of delivery in an archive that  
the OS then unpacks.  I don't have the habit of opening up  
unsolicited .zip archives arriving in email.

But a cleaverly crafted .exe install program could deliver or  
create one.
