Technically backwards, those who encouraged and signed off on the deployment of Microsoft products breached security standards. If they did not ensure the contract ensured compliance with all applicable security requirements then they should not have given Microsoft a free pass to pools of money.
The same applies to virtually all fortune 1000 contracts that the Department of Defense has. Let the pain flow.
