I'd have to take just a bit of exception to that. While the ideas in this article do lay out a very draconian roadmap for us to follow, I'd say that only part of the future is up to software vendors. Another part of it is up to people who use software. If a user just does whatever they want because they've been assured by someone else that the software they use is secure, an environment is created that is ripe for havoc.
Users definitely should not be froced to hate their jobs but they must - by force, if necessary - be made to DO their jobs. If a good security policy is in place, part of doing their jobs is not putting the company at risk.
