Strangely, it's not MS' fault. It's the fault of the staffers who opened the door to MS.

Bundeswehr struggling against virus infestation
After the British and French military, the worm Conficker has also catched the Bundeswehr now. A few hundred computers are affected so far. Several offices were taken off the network to prevent spreading of the malicious software.
Berlin - The Bundeswehr is in action against computer viruses: Since Thursday the virus has spread to several hundred computers of various Bundeswehr offices, a spokesman of the Federal Ministry of Defense disclosed on Friday evening. "A few affected offices were disconnected from the Bundeswehr network in oder to prevent further spreading of the malicious software."
The Bundeswehr's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERTBw) and the company BWI Informationstechnik are working on removing the worm from the Bundeswehr computers, according to the ministry. Conficker had spread franticly fast among millions of computers worldwide during the previous days. The US software giant Microsoft has offered a reward amounting to 250000 Dollars (about 194000 Euros) for hints pointing to the Virus' creators.
On Thursday, the French navy had admitted that it had to temporarily shut down its networks in January: A soldier had introduced Conficker via a USB stick.

So-called "hey hi" as they define it now is all about large companies or regimes remotely controlling the processes running on your machine and even your very own behaviour on your machine, which is in effect no longer your machine but some remotely controlled apparatus
It's very troubling and a symptom of a broken society/system when particular laws or rules are applied and enforced against some people but not against others
