Microsoft can say whatever it wants about how secure their product is and how great Windows 7 is. Fact of the matter is Windows 7 is nothing more than Windows Vista Service Pack 4.
I would whole-heartedly disagree with you on several points to your blind accusation. Windows 7, while not perfect, is astronomically more stable and easier to use than Vista. I supported Vista in my organization, and the migration to 7 was a Godsend, to say the least.
Better IPv6 support
Better x64 support native
Better resource mapping, allocation, and management
Easier to manage with AD
Better driver support
Stabler kernel
Those are just my Top 6. I am happier with 7 on myriad fronts where Vista was really just ME repackaged with a fancier GUI, if you want to make a comparison.
With the proper mindset and distrust of the Net-connected world in which we live, 7 can be as stable and secure as any MacOS. Like I’ve said, Linux is my native OS, but 7 supports my gaming addiction with wider support of titles and ease of configuration for system engineers and overclockers like myself.
