Microsoft's product quality, from a security standpoint, would likely improve more quickly if there were a demand for it from customers. I don't mean "supply and demand"-type demand, I mean "fix your damn software!"-type demand. The best way to do this is for ISPs to go back to TOSing users whose machines are compromised and used as zombies. It all goes back to good digital hygiene, and most users today have never had an Internet Health class. One of the reasons that FLOSS has a better security record is that the Unix community went through its baptism by fire a few decades ago, and now the bulk of the Unix-ish systems users _know_ that they want a secure system and _expect_ it from their providers. FLOSS is even more susceptible to this, since there's a lot less lock-in with it, making it easy for users to switch to alternatives if they're not satisfied.
