You mean, it shows that the government spends resources and tax payer money helping Microsoft clean up its problem (Windows botnets) that any user can protect themselves against fairly simply.
So it's MS fault, or the operating system is just too complex, if some user decides to follow a link to a scam site? I realize that this site is manned by, and populated by *NIX bigots but let's get real for a minute. Ok so we can all agree that MS is responsible for the ease that botnets get built. But a user of any computer/OS is likely to get taken in by those scams so that makes it not just a MS reponsibility to help protect them from themselves, and yes I do think it is everyones job to protect them. If it wasn't then how do we explain the commercials that have the line "Don't try this at home".
We're all responsible to protect the stupid.
