The Slammer worm was successful because thousands of users didn't patch Microsoft's security holes. Should we sue them all?

let's be honest... the patch for the vulnerabilty Slammer exploited was released with more than 6 months ago... if the admins would have patched their systems there would have been no problem... the worm spreaded through servers all over the internet, not from some home computers of ignorant users...
vulnerability will appear always on all platforms... Microsoft or other... peoples should be more aware of security risks related to the internet and network administrators should do their jobs...
