Regardless of the source, the explanation of Stuxnet is really good here.

It's almost as if it's written for a target audience other than typical Fox News reader.
You know, someone who wouldn't go "Wtf is a Belarus?" if they read it.

You leave my parents out of this. "You want to visit a third world country?! What a waste of a vacation."

I find it hard to believe Windows 7 was running on most of the plant's equipment. Nay, I find that nearly impossible to believe.
My guess is that IF they truly were running something W7'ey it was Windows Embedded Standard 7.

It's not uncommon for facilities of various industries to utilize Windows 7 as their platform of choice. You would be surprised.

I thought it was crazy that the virus was targeted to a Germany component, then it takes off from within the Iranian nuclear facility. This was one heck of a virus and whoever did it is an Einstein of computers/networks/components.

How is that impossible to believe? It's Iran... they probably just torrented a copy or two and installed it on the machines.

I didn't think Vista was too bad, although it didn't hold up to XP.
But I use Win7 now and it makes Vista look absolutely terrible.

Wow, that was a good read. The "Zero Days" part was intriguing.
