The following is a written version of a speech I gave at The Open Solutions Summit (AKA LinuxWorld NY) in New York City in February. It's long, but I think you will find it interesting. If you want to get to the website I announced, jump to the last section.

The only useful example there is the security checklist, and even that's way too long for the average person to read and digest.
As for the rest, "Time to dump Internet Explorer" and "Surprises inside Vista's EULA" are great examples of lies of ommission. "Time" misses the real problem (running as Admin) while "Surprises" forgets that Securityfocus' primary sponsor practices the same low-ball tactics as Microsoft.
If you want to get a security message across, stop writing long boring articles explaining bizarre middle-age examples and provide short, simpler and more modern analogies, such as car seat belts and power tool safety guards.
