A little unfair.

Just because it's possible to set up a box badly, doesn't that MS is
insecure.

It is not difficult to set up a Windows box so that guest account is
disabled AND it can act as a print server.

99% of the "insecurity" of Windows is because people THINK they know more
about setting up machines on networks than they actually know. MS's
marketing department have to take a lot of the rap for that... but the
programming departments are full of good people who know what they're doing,
and are as sick of idiots setting up things badly as the rest of us.
