#3 Yes, blame Microsoft for the Windows monoculture. Since "everyone" runs Windows everyone is vulnerable to exactly the same thing. And Microsoft is notoriously slow about acknowledging security issues, let alone fixing them.

*nix (including Mac OS X) is not bulletproof, but each flavor (and there are 100s of flavors) has different weaknesses depending on what packages you have installed.

So Yes, I do blame Microsoft. And in this instance I blame Bush as well since the 2000 order to cease the anti-trust lawsuit had to come from him or then AG Ashcroft.
