Sure it's not just a microsoft problem. There's no system that gets compromised with code greater than a few K.. everyone knows that.
One small bug is all it takes to exploit it, all it needs to do is provide a point of entry for an attack to expand.
However, this article isn't about technical things like; wow it's really crappy if a few kb of code can do that.. no, the author didn't mean that imo.. it's just fascination that a small piece of code created by that boy in the underwear is enough to take a system that has cost somany to develop :).. I like that thought :)
