In the early versions of windows they didn't even come with an IP stack. One had to be installed from a third party. These things together mean Windows just isn't fundamentally built for what its used for today. The best thing Microsoft could do at this point is rewrite it. Give it a proper safe foundation on which to build on. With a proper safe file system to match. When they do this, the impact of internet security threats will be greatly reduced.
You see again, you are talking ancient history because NT (the OS upon which ALL current versions of Windows are based) WAS built for networking and I believe that even OS2 (which preceded NT) was built for networking. Why do you guys do that? It's like me saying *nix was never designed for a GUI (and it wasn't in it's earliest incarnations).
