     As much as @FSF wants to blame Windows, or Microsoft wants to blame the NSA, and the NSA wants to blame hackers, some of the fault of the disruption caused by #WannaCry is the fault of IT Managers who keep buying Windows. Market demand has to ask for diversity, it's not going to appear by itself.
