You are right but on the other hand... what would happen to most system-
/network-administrators if MS Software would suddenly be secure - or if
there would be no kid anymore writing worms and viruses against Windows-
Software? I am sure at least 25% of the administrators would be without
work, and the rest would have to be ready for earning essentially less
money than now. The same would happen to freelancers as well. Just
something to think about.

***  So, according to this, the only thing that system admin's do is act
as an arm of Security?  They don't do performance monitoring, capacity
planning, coding of some type, deal with system/network issues, take care
of the infrastructure...

Come on! Don't you have any kind of humour? But besides humour there's a
little truth in it, because if the admin has all of his time for all you
said above and there come no special MS incidents... maybe his college is
not needed anymore?
