Mark and I talked about this the other day. Microsoft does pretty damn well considering that such a large majority of computer users use Windows. Just imagine if that many people used Mac OS or Linux or any other OS...there would be just as many security problems.
The more people that use an OS, the more hackers want to find flaws in that OS (since it'll affect more people). And, the more people using it, the more likely that flaws will be found.
So, yes, it's annoying when vulnerabilities are found, but it's unlikely that Windows (or any OS) will ever be bug-free, unless they decide to stop making new features.
