The vulnerability that this worm is taking advantage of was fixed by a patch MS released last summer. So if you're going to blame MS for this blame everyone who writes software that ever has a single bug in it. But for this particular problem you can blame the lazy morons who maintain things like database servers but don't keep them patched - even to the point of being 7 months or more out of date.
