So why isnt it good to go
Because there is no such thing as secure code (and if there is, I can't think of an example). As long as I can get a dissassembled listing, I can modify it in any way I see fit. The longer the code, the more opportunities there are.

I know that most linux distro's are good to go.
Umm, with all due respect, no. I'm no guru with Linux, but I bet someone here could tell us which Linux distros are completely secure right out of the box. There are not as many opportunities for exploitation for many reasons which have been stated on this board ad nauseum.

Why is it that most of MS action is buying another company.
You tell me...how hard is it to write a good antimalware program when the target changes daily? It's impossible to shat out a program overnight to deal with malware. by the time development, coding, and bug testing are done, there are enough new variants that by the time the code is finally released, it is already outdated.

A good example. Intermute bought out the CWS Shredder. Within just the last day, they announced that it was now able to defeat a very *****ly version of CWS. But guess what. In the time they were taking to rewrite it, we have a brand new version. As mentioned above, this one alters PE files so that they start up Cool Web Search. Would you care to try to write a program that will kill that? Even the people that specialize in removing malware can't keep up.

They do sells the largest and best selling os on this planet right. That means they should be able to write it themselves.
That is a non sequitur. Sales does not indicate a an ability to write anti-malware programs. It only indicates they have a good marketing plan..

I'm not picking on you MoonWolf . My point was that Microsoft is trying to make inroads and improve their product. I said up above that 90% of the people bitching are the ones that infected themselves in the first place. The other 10% have legitmate gripes. It's so easy to jump on the Microsoft bashing bandwagon. Personally, I have had very few problems with the Windows OS. I don't necessarily agree with their business model. Maybe if I did, I would be a billionaire, instead of some penniless schmuck.

Further pushing the bandwagon are techs that have no clue what malware is, or how to fix it, so they reinstall the system, and blame it on Microsoft's crappy OS. (I can think of several in the town I live in )

All I am saying is if you have a legitemate beef about Microsofts OS, go ahead and gripe. If you are having a problem just because you don't understand the OS, that is something entirely different. (and I don't mean you personally). And if you are griping just because every one else gripes, grow a pair of stones and make your own decisions.
