I don't really think anyone would change their opinion of Linux based on
this experience. They'd probably just form an opinion of the virus author
like Michael.
I guess I'm more curious as to what happened to the employee/employees who

for the time spent by IT fixing the problem? Whipped with a wet noodle?
