discussion on the lack of security of windows is endless. and vista is funny on this respect. every single operation need to be acnowledged twice by the user, so nobody read the popup anymore, it could be "your are going to die", the user whould clic OK anyway :-))

How can it be "tied closely to the OS" without being tied
into the kernel.
In fact, every bit of software that does not run on a virtual machine is
very much tied closely to the OS on which it runs. Only things like
device drivers and file system modules are in the kernel (and even they
need not be a part of the kernel per se).
