"I wonder if in a few years, when people wake up with a Microsoft OS that DOESN'T get hit by viruses (the result of that security initiative which IS generating results), will the naysayers know what to do with themselves?"

I'll believe it when I see it. The fact that many of the same bugs seem to affect NT, 2000, *and* XP suggests to me that Microsoft isn't exactly eager to audit old code. They're just shovelling it all into the next version, bugs and all.
