Poor old Microsoft. They get slated if they get it wrong and equally if they get it right. In this case they are getting it right. Trying to make their software more secure for the end user. So what does the security industry do? Try and make them unsecure elements of their product so they can stay in business.
Well guess what guys, that's business. If your area of expertise is changing or becoming more competitive then you need to step up to the plate or change your business model. They invented the OS so why shouldn't they make it more secure. It's about time we got away from this demented patch, signature and re-patch mentality and started to produce software from the ground up that is secure. Well done microsoft. They have a long way to go but it looks like they are going to have to step on a few toes to get there
