Re: Crickbait
I usually blame the user, since it's ultimately the user's responsibility not to click unknown links, open unexpected attachments and generally act like a bellend.
Personally, in this case I blame the admin. Windows comes with tools bundled (free of charge FFS!) to disable scripting, file downloads, you name it. You can even make windows only run anything vaguely executable on a whitelist by either path or via hash which makes it much more tolerant of users well, using it.
On a separate note, most of the exceedingly loud "*nix is better than everything else" people haven't worked in IT, aren't working in IT and aren't likely to in any capacity above 1st line support.
You can tell because they fail to understand basics like "The business requires $software-A. This runs on $OS-B." End result, company deploys $OS-B to run $software-A. Instead of accepting this, they advocate designing and creating a new bit of software to run on their preferred OS instead of actually doing what the management who own the company have decided to do, presumably thinking that IT has more control over the company than the CEO does and doesn't need to worry about timescales or budgets.
