Windows should have more restrictive permissions by default. Sometimes, you need to run untrusted code, and an good antivirus program can help reduce the threat. Windows should come with an antivirus solution. I don't think users are adequtely informed of the security risks of running as root. The setup wizard already creates non-root users, but most people don't use them. Perhaps a warning when they log on would be helpful. Users shouldn't run as root all of the time. I do believe that Outlook Express now prevents you from executing attachments at all unless you uncheck a box hidden in some configuration dialog. No mail client should even be able to execute attachments. User not using firewall even though it is built into the OS

User installing software that is bundled with programs that spy on them / mess up their system
User downloading and executing unknown code from random locations (screensavers, shareware, warez) User always running as root, even when they don't have to Imagine how a Linux system would hold up under the following situation: Now, the permissions aren't set strict enough out of the box (and most users make their account part of the Administrators group - just like running as root all of the time). NTFS one of the strongest attributes of Windows. Metadata for every file, unlimited alternate data streams (Microsoft's version of the HFS data/resource forks, but you can have as many as you want), strong security permissions that even the OS obeys that can be applied on a per-user basis with inheritance and an allow/don't allow/deny system. NTFS is a journaling filesystem with some very strong features. I don't honestly know what you are talking about. That's why Microsoft is disabling the service by default in XPSP2. It's only recently that the spammers have decided to use it. System administators have used it for years. "For example, the messenger service isn't used by anyone by spam senders" I guess the point of this is that if I have to re-install windows or edit the registry again before Christmas I'm buying myself an iMac. That's not to say that your point is invalid, but that there are other factors involved. Routers, on the other hand, are frequently a bit archaic in their setup and get hacked all of the time. A Hub, for example, is extremely easy to use, and has few possible points of security vulnerability. Just design a closed system with very limited purposes. You can both have security and ease-of-use.

The autodetection of hardware and updating of drivers is very easy to use, and has (as far as I know) never been the source of an exploit. A web browser that can be told to run arbitrary code due to a buffer overflow is not vulnerable because it is easy to use, but because it is poorly written. I'd find the "Microsoft security vulnerabilities are the fault of ease-of-use" argument a little more valid if Microsoft's software were actually vulnerable due to useful features.įor example, the messenger service isn't used by anyone by spam senders, e-mail scripting was never a useful device to anyone, and a fragile, naked file system doesn't lend itself to easy usage anyway.

One could argue that these features should be off by default, but if they are, it kind of wrecks the whole auto-configuration scheme." This sounds related to a great new feature in Mac OS X Server 10.3/Xserve called " automatic setup" that - for machines that come with it preinstalled - will get their address and LDAP server via DHCP and look for configuration files, and automatically configure the entire server, without any interaction beyond plugging it into the network and turning it on. Or, if LDAP services are used, just uncheck 'Use DHCP-supplied LDAP Server' in LDAPv3. The quick 'fix' for the vast majority of users who choose to implement it is to uncheck LDAPv3 and NetInfo altogether in Directory Access. This functionality has been around since NeXTSTEP, and is designed to allow for auto-configuration of new servers/machines brought into the network. Dave Schroeder writes, " This isn't so much of a root vulnerability as a default configuration that trusts the integrity of the local network services.
