I wasn't clear and also quite ambiguous. I can see it now that you mentioned
it. By "the contrary" I meant to say that Windows might not be (passively)
responsible for spam.
There are many exploits which can be attributed to faulty hardware or
software. For example, certain blogging software encouraged comment spam.
Buggy implementations of XML-RPC encouraged denial of service (DoS) attacks
on Web servers and certain news readers allow the user to crosspost to an
absurd number of newsgroups.
