Ouch. That would, in a word, suck. I only know of one guy in our office who received it, but fortunately it was right after a companywide email warning, so he immediately deleted it. I saw on the news last night that our local power plant got hit with it, too. Fortunately, for the rest of us, it was localized to their email and scheduling and didn't affect any power generating systems.

Then they showed our mayor telling about how she hopes to have their computers back on in a couple days. They didn't give details, but just eluded to the fact that somewhere in or around the mayor's office (at least) took a hit.
