RE: Windows systems at risk from Stuxnet attack

You forgot two of the key principles of virus propagation.
1) No user will voluntarily infect his computer with a virus, UNLESS he's unaware that the source file (or file system) is infected.

2) If the user A trusts user B, but neither user A nor B know that B's floppy disk, CD-ROM or USB stick is capable of doing harm, then there's no reason why user A will distrust user's B media, unless it looks suspicious or user C (another user) alerts both of them of the risk.
