Part of me wants to blame Microsoft for only designing OS that allow such exploits..but am I being fair?

 

Not really. All OSs have security issues. Anything can be hacked. The difference is the imagined payout from doing so. Mac and Linux as well other systems just don't have the same attaction as a Windows system does.

Now, don't get me wrong, I do think MS could have done a much better job on some inherent security issues, just saying that even if Mac or Linux was 90% of the market, things would still be the same.

Agreed.  It depends on who uses what and how much.
