True, you can't blame the windowmaker as long as their product was well-constructed in the first place. HOWEVER, MS has released a "patcdh" that does not work on all systems! As pointed out in the MS technical bulletin for this particular patch, there are problems with the patch and certain systems becomming non-responsive or slow. We have some servers here that cannot run with the patch installed! Thsu for us the "cure" is worse than the worm. In this instance, I feel that MS is responsible. Deliver us patches that work and then maybe we can say it is solely the responsibility of the worm author(s).
