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."

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.
