Apologies for lack of attribution beyond the first level, but the previous poster removed that.

Windows security sucks.
The real problem with Windows is that there exist folks who believe that it is, or can be, secured. They believe the six-colour glossy, the Gartner Reports, and other (manufacturers') propaganda. As a consequence they do not act in a fashion which will keep them safe.
While MS may be a favorite whipping boy, let's not pretend that if the dominant OS were Apple or some flavor of *nix, things would be any better. Those OS's are no more secure than a Windows box once you plug a few hundred million people into their consoles. Jamie
