Virus on International Space Station

The BBC reports that "a computer virus is alive and
well" on the International Space Station (ISS). NASA has
confirmed that laptops carried to the ISS in July were infected.
The infected laptops were used to run nutritional programs and let
the astronauts periodically send e-mail back to Earth. Apparently
no command or control systems of the ISS were at risk from the
malicious program. Hmm....maybe NASA needs to send up some
Macs?
