My sympathies to all IT departments that now run like crazy to fix shit because incompetent employees opened infected email attachments . I hope the board of directors in the affected businesses and public services will see the light and drop Windows.

I provide IT support in the education sector. I dread to think what is waiting for me, come Monday.
