Yes, because windows automatically runs anything you throw at it. autorun is an abomination, but it can be disabled. That is not to say that some badusb device couldn't lie to OpenBSD, or any other *nix for that matter, and use of those devices could be harmful if the attack is targeted. I don't see anything new about this attack. The theory behind it was invented with USB itself. Just read the USB spec. It's completely based on trust. And there is little the OS can do to check if a what a USB device claimed to be, is what it actually is.
