Microsoft has certainly gotten better, though they'd have to be pretty bad to rank up there with Java and Flash and other web media platforms. They will probably always be in the top 10. I don't know if Microsoft should exactly be praised for not being horrible.
I am impressed with how good Windows security measures are now, though, after years of being superfluous and ridiculed. Everything I've read has said that they are well ahead of Apple in that regard.
Which leads to the question, why is iTunes on that list with multiple vulnerabilities? And ahead of Shockwave? That's very bad. People need to know about that.
