I can't believe this hasn't received a single response. Stuxnet is one of the most fascinating events of the past ten years and it shows how wars will be fought in the future.
With that said, I'm going to have to read more on how it "escaped" and went into the wild. Given the incredibly specific commands within the virus, it's hard to see how it would do much of anything without the limiting confines given to it.
In the wild, what would it do? I'd assume that it's written to fool a Linux environment (just hypothesizing here) but without the specific set of programs to convince it *wasn't* running while spinning a centrifuge faster than it should, what the hell exactly would it do? In theory, I suppose it would replicate willy-nilly (what is the point of a virus that doesn't) but how was it discovered?
