It may only "infect" Windows PCs, but it affects everyone. Mail servers
frequently come to a standstill because of crap like this, and when your
mail host is toast because they're getting flooded with this stuff, it
doesn't matter what OS you're running.
Incidentally, Vanderbilt University bounced over 330,000 copies of this
steaming pile in less than 24 hours after it hit the wild. That number
is most likely closer to a half million, probably even over that, at
this point.
