People that cant make Windows secure should stick to their Linux. I've made a windows box withstand all types of attacks. Just like any OS, after the initial install is done you have to HARDEN the system. If there's no need to harden the system, then why are we making the big bucks doing so? Otherwise, you would stick a cd in the drive and have a whole enterprise with no need for an administrator to set anything up and make it secure. Stop complaining about plugging into the net and getting infected. DUH! If the box aint secureed yet....KEEP IT OFF THE INTERNET....You'll be doing all of us a favor.
BTW....I also use open source software. There are just as many vulnerabilities in open source as there is with other methods.
