Social engineering doesn't afcfet other OS's simply because they're a small slice of the pie. I've never even seen a piece of UNIX or even OSX malware out there to download (although, if you're able to run UNIX successfully, you're probably an expert anyway).Saying that its impossible to run Windows safely without with antivirus, or that Windows can and will never be secure is just flame bait, which kinda clouds up the whole point of this article, that smaller interfaces lead to less attack surface. Sadly, that also ignores the fact that smaller interfaces can also mean you can't do half the stuff you wanted either (or at least its often more difficult).Developing software from the ground up, people rarely would make the same choices twice in a row (even in one or two years, ideas can change drastically, and Windows is hauling around interfaces that are a lot older than that). Starting over from the group up isn't really an option for most large projects though. So you do what MS is doing. You separate things apart where you can, and update them in small chunks (Vista and Win7). Or you write new APIs and let people opt in to using them instead (WPF).
