BOOYA!
Thanks for the link Cataclyst, this is exactly something I've argued till I was blue in the face, time and time again.
Viruses, hacks, unstable software... it all comes with the territory. You get bigger and more popular, with more people using it and more software being written for it, and you WILL be subject to it all.
Microsoft gets slammed unfairly all the time. I have the distinct feeling that FEW companies could actually compete on the same ground, given the same variables to deal with.
You have a staff of a couple hundred writing the OS, but a user base in the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS using it... there are definitely WAY more, skilled people trying to break your software then there are people making it.
Windows haters can stuff it.

While practically it is impossible to write perfectly secure software, that doesn't mean that every attempt is equivalent.
It's clear that certain architectures and practices can create more or less secure software. And traditionally Microsoft and Windows are not know for high security practices or architecture.
