What does this have to do with Microsoft? Which Microsoft-specific hole did it exploit?
Since you don't seem to have basic reasoning skills, I'll help you out: it didn't. This exploited one thing, and that's human stupidity. A person would have to download and run the malcicious code, and once that happens, the underlying platform doesn't matter. It could happen with Windows, MacOS, Linux, BSD or whatever else you want to be a zealot for.
Please think before embarassing yourself next time.
