More like it shows dangers of using only one provider for almost all IT infrastructure.

There's more to it. The mono-culture is one thing, but rolling out the update to millions of computers on the same days sounds like a bad idea.

Fun fact in 2008, with nuclear submarines, the mono-culture was not that bad yet.

It's interesting to note the UK went with a Windows XP variant and not Windows Vista, which is marketed as the more reliable OS. The USA never made the same calculations: The American Navy runs on Linux.
