Business Week recently ran an interesting piece about Microsoft's anti-malware software for Windows 7, but it misses what I believe to be a key point in the security debate. User desire for standardized platforms is the leading contributing factor to the lack of system security.
Microsoft has integrated all of its tools so seamlessly and controls so many aspects that one chink in the armor opens your entire computer to a plethora of attacks. For example, the entry point may not be as simple as Internet Explorer or Outlook. A hacker could inject malware through Excel, Word or Powerpoint or any other application commonly found in the Windows environment and then find it's way out through your Internet connection.
