You might as well blame them for being dumb enough to buy it. By putting
the Microsoft name on it, they have foisted it off on far more
unsuspecting customers that the original company could have.
I once worked for a company that migrated (despite my protests) from CVS
to VSS. Apparently the engineers doing GUI development (for an embedded
system) didn't like using the command-line interface to CVS. I pointed
out that there were at least four GUI interfaces available for CVS at
that time, but apparently they thought wanted an "official" GUI, rather
than something a third party "hacked together". They also used the
standard FUD about wanting a company to sue if there was a problem,
though I've never heard of anyone succeeding at suing MS over a
software failure.
Apparently they hadn't noticed (and didn't believe when told) that third
party "hacked together" software is often much better than the stuff
from MS.
