Hopefully we can all agree that anything Microsoft can do to attempt to
make it's O/S more secure is better than the way it is now.

No.  We can't.

Consider the case of Microsoft letting Bozo the Clown do the design work and
the Three Stooges carrying out the implementation.

I think you maybe got off on a tangent and forgot to explain why you
answered no to my question.
In reference to your anti-capitalist rant... In the last 2 weeks MS has
had to re-release their Oct. 15 patches twice. In that time their stock
price has dropped more than 10%. Could it be that shareholders are
learning that MS needs to do something about their shoddy work?
