If the attack affected only WinXP then I wouldn't hold Microsoft responsible at all. The problem is that the attack affects still supported versions, as well as also requiring a patch on Windows 10.

The article is about a design failure, that unless addressed, means we will continue to see these attacks, even on up-to-date systems.
