You are correct that Windows was responsible for the commoditization of computing. You are also correct that many hacks occurred through means other than unpatched Windows machines. Neither of those truths changes the fact that Windows XP has been and continues to be a serious issue for national and corporate security. Almost every computer in China runs a pirated version of XP that can not be patched and is vulnerable and likely infected with some sort of botnet software. Many corporations and agencies in the US have been compromised in this way as well.
