It seems to me the _administration_ and _implementation_ of Windows is 
often very bad.

The first thing to if you want to secure Windows is to install it to 
NTFS: otherwise, you have no filesystem security.

My Acer Aspire camw with Windows XP Home preinstalled to FAT32.

The second is to have separate administrative and user accounts. I think 
its fairly pointless on FAT32, but it seems to me most users make 
themselves administrators.

Miss either of those points and your windows box is wide open.
