Isn't this hyperbole? I'd grant that Stuxnet is probably the most sophisticated malware ever written, but calling it the most sophisticated software is a big stretch.

Stuxnet seems to be the product of a competent, professional, and well-funded software engineering organization that writes malware and understands the domain of computer espionage. That was unprecedented in the malware space, but it's not if you include other domains.
