You have to get to the machine first...

And anyone who is truly concerned about security shouldn't be relying on their OS connected directly to the public internet to provide the security anyway. Some level, sure. But if you take away the ability to get directly to the desktop, you filter all your IP traffic through a firewall/IPS device, having AV and Malware scanning on ALL ip based traffic in and out of your network, then you're going to have a very hard time getting into a PC, be it Windows, Linux, Mac or OpenBSD.
