Don't agree 100%. I think the answer is to legally and financially responsible make Micro$oft and any other Vendor responsible for security of their software.
That will drive the cost up, but if they are going to be held accountable, they will spend the proper amount of time required to ensure that their software is secure, create proper provisions as to how the software is to be installed, configured etc.
I can't just go make a car that doesn't meet certain safety requirements. Nor can I build a building that will fall down, and say 'oops' sorry. Version 1.2 will be better. Same logic with software.
