A lot of the vulerabilities are proof of concept and most don't exsist anywhere in the real world. Most if not all require multiple user actions or being logged in as root. I challenge any Mac users here to tell this board how to enable the root account and then log in. Most users don't know how and have no reason to. This is not something you can do in error. Even as an admin account, you will promted at least twice that it is an application and not pictures of Jessica Simpson.
This is how Windows Vista works. Why will it work this way? It is more secure.

Its not secure at all... all it is, is annoying. End users will read it once or twice then completely ignore it for the rest of their lives (like they do now).
An operating system shouldn't popup a window saying this could affect the security of your computer EVERY FREAKING TIME you want to do anything (that was how it was in the beta of vista for me).
