You are not an admin and therefore cannot be a reliable source as to what Windows can and cannot do. I am not a MacOSX admin and therefore you do not see me going around saying that MacOSX sucks just because I don't know how to configure it to do the things I want it to do.
Now, let's examine your "proof":
Monolithic monstrosity: The security ramifications of this is greatly overblown. There have been some decisions that Microsoft have made in this area that I do not agree with but all by itself, it isn't enough to convince me to abandon ship.
Warnings against administrator: This is a default issue, not a design issue and has now been covered several times. FUD!
Many applications can't be run as non-administrator: You have yet to show even one. MS Office runs just fine as a non-administrator. FUD!
Ability to arbitrarily run code: Not using IE fixes 99.9% of these bugs. Firefox is great, you should look into it.
Shipping with security tools: Every single time Microsoft bundles anything into Windows, you Linux shills complain about monopoly behaviour. So which is it, should Microsoft bundle applications like firewalls or not? Regardless, they do, and in SP2, it is on by default. FUD!
