Again I repeat: Unless your intent...
...is to imply that Microsoft has intentionally added security vulnerabilities to their software your analogy falls flat. In your example you intentionally inflicted the damage and then offer assistance based on that act. In order for your example to be an analogy you would have to demonstrate an intentional act on Microsoft's behalf to add these vulnerabilities. Do you have such proof?

As for holding software developers responsible for flaws that's another debate. One which is not appropriate here. All I will say is note that I stated "software developers" and not Microsoft. There's not reason to single Microsoft out. Unless of course your implication is that Microsoft knowingly adds them to their software.
