> Imagine if they devoted all of their resources to finding and fixing all of the possible security issues until it's virtually bulletproof, and the price of a zero-day gets to a billion dollars.
The trend in security has lately been toward isolation (sandboxing, etc.) instead of fixing security issues as they come up. Newer versions of Windows have more isolation features. Setting up a sandbox on Windows XP is a nightmare, and there's no way to shut off access to FAT drives or win32k.sys, etc.
