I'm going to disagree with Kadath. I agree Bill Gates isn't entirely to blame; however, whenever Microsoft has had to make a choice between security and power features, they have chosen the features. During the public beta periods, people pointed out the security holes inherent in the power features, and Microsoft ignored them. For that, I find Microsoft partially responsible for the security issues. (I'm specifically thinking of the macros in Office, back around Office 95; sure enough, macro viruses followed.)
We'll see if their new focus on security turns this around.

By the same token, George W Bush is personally to blame for 9/11. And so is Reagan.
During periods of aggressive US foreign policy, people pointed out that this was unpopular with the rest of the world. People also pointed out that funding extremists in the Afghan war was perhaps not a good idea. And siding with Israel throughout the Palestinian issue.
Sure enough, anti-US terrorism followed.
Wierd, eh?
