Microsoft is feature and sales oriented not quality oriented. Security is an aspect of quality. So if you voluntarily like to put yourself at risk, by all means use their products.

Their product design doesn't emphasize security. For example, remember the extremely convenient AUTORUN.INF feature? That has probably resulted in billions of dollars lost and that number continues to grow every day.

Rendering fonts on the kernel... fantastic idea! What's the next great Microsoft idea? Continue to buy their products and figure it out.
