Is it only because microsoft dominates the desktop market? Edward snowden clearly showed MS relation to the NSA. I do not believe at all such exploits are ${Discovered} by the NSA. But the exploits are backdoors that MS provides. That is why they are now blaming the NSA and putting on a marketing campain to show how much they care about everyone ${Security}. So what if this is the case? To me its pretty obvious who created this mess.
