Bzzt, Wrong Summary
"There is also no evidence, nor is there any information suggesting, that viruses and worms prevalent across the Internet at the time of the outage had any significant impact on power generation and delivery systems."

While "power generation and delivery" wasn't affected, if you read the report, the MONITORING systems were indeed affected. So while Blaster didn't contribute directly to the original failure, the power companies' inability to get proper monitoring data and respond is what caused the failure to cascade out of control.
