I run XPlite for one. That in itself makes Windows more secure. Secondly, I'm already in the habit of doing a fresh re-install about every month


Why? (the fresh reinstall)

I wonder if people here have considered how many vulnerabilities would be found in the TCP/IP stacks for AmigaOS/MorphOS if they were subjected to the same amount of scrutiny that the main players are?

Security through obscurity provides a little bit of protection in the real world, but not very much.
