Of course there are. Well over 90% of every end user desktop is running Windows. Even the ones that jumped to OSX still have Windows running too. >The Micoshaft platform is >unfixable and unmaintable.

My last security compromise was in the 90s, and I run several internet facing servers without hardware firewalls (we use IPsec based traffic controls), plus manage a number of Windows XP and Vista PCs, including two Vista boxes hooked directly to the internet. The biggest problem today is the blob of meat running the keyboard and mouse, the one clicking "Allow" to install that "codec pack" to see an upskirt shot of $TRASHYCELEBOFTHEHOUR.
