I think he inserted the code on purpose to wreak havoc with Windows users.
After all, Roy Schestowitz is a rabid Linux advocate and a paid SPAMMER for
the Linux movement.
He was also warned that something was wrong with his sites but of course he
ignored it.

"I posted a message on www.schestowitz.com that was somewhat anti-
linux.
Not only was the message deleted but shortly afterwards I started
getting pings of death from that site. If that wasn't bad enough, I
had a rogue program, testicles.com trying to connect to
www.schestowitz.com.
As if that were not bad enough, I got the same exact results on
another site, www.boycottnovel.com which coincidently is run by the
same person, Roy Schestowitz.
Maybe I am wrong, but I would suggest people avoid those two sites."
I would stay clear of www.schestowitz.com and www.boycottnovel.com just to
be on the safe side.
