Still scratching my head
over this gem:

Ballmer said at the Munich news conference "I think we have leapfrogged Linux and other systems in helping customers maintain a secure environment."

My experience is that simply by not running Windows you can immeditately decrease your threat profile by at least a couple orders of magnitude. Unless and until Microsoft addresses the underlying Windows security model (or lack thereof), all this is just band-aids on a fundementally flawed product.
