The best answer, of course, is to not use windows for anything that needs to be secure.

Edit: For those who think I'm wrong, cool. I'm not but you are welcome to disagree.

  • Linux admins here: Quiet nods and knowing looks.
  • Windows admins here: quiet awkward glances at each other to see if anyone wants to defend MS today.
  • Mac admins here: quiet awkward glances to see if anyone feels like this was any better than a coin toss chance of happening just to Macs, today, instead.

Theoretically, this could hit Linux too. You could run a Linux kernel mod containing closed source stuff from a third party vendor which causes the system to kernel panic. The difference is really cultural. Linux admins would howl at that kind of setup, whereas for Windows it's more standard.
