There is a security hole in it that allows viruses to write to system files easily. Microsoft needs to take a long hard look at the way Linux and Mac do system security and implement it. There are very good reasons why there are lower number of viruses on both those operating systems (and it has nothing to do with usage, it's to do with the permissions systems used).
It is a beta though

You and I see things from different sides of the same same fence so I wouldn't expect anything else ... it's a trade off between usability and security, and usability is why I choose Windows (and for the foreseeable will continue to do so I guess). It is also, of course, my job so with the best will in the world Windows is all I can do.
