very interesting! Does it may happen that Microsoft become a secure platform?

Actually I find windows(7) quite secure - most flaws are from third party software - Adobe - Flash - Java etc..

I will not call it secure until windows core/source become really solid and un-touchable like you feel every file or program you run is being opened in a sandbox, when you uninstall a program no leftover remain or no kind of input being able change anything from windows core. (Emmm, like a Chrome Extension which cannot change the way whole browser works, or like a JAVA mobile OS which applications cannot change the way mobile OS works)

I do say quite secure...    But a lot of the problems are dependant on the third party software manufactures to get their act together - Like as you say Chrome.  Windows cannot be locked up tight though as long as third party software is used

Even if you aren't a gamer (such as I) but used your Playstation to obtain other services like Netflix, then consider yourself hacked.  :'(

Some already consider this the biggest all-time data theft.
