Oh, come on. MS puts more effort into delivering a secure platform than pretty much anyone at this point. They're just not the low hanging fruit they once were.
Oh, I'll grant you that, they *have* done a great job in the past few years, the biggest turn-around I've seen in 3 decades in this business. The point is that we all know that *really* fixing some of these issues will involve a *complete* re-architect of the system - and that's someplace they really don't want to go. Look at how many corporations were slow to jump on Vista - now imagine if the corporations had to wait for pretty much *every single app* to update to the New World Order. Remember that one of the big components of vendor lock-in is the cost of jumping ship. Now if the next WIndows release is as disruptive as jumping ship, you lose a lot of lock-in. (And remember what people said about the *first* release of UAC in the beta? A *lot* of people said it sucked hard enough to make them seriously consider moving to Linux... so it got toned down a whole lot before release.)
