...PnP device drivers are programmed into the device themselves, not 
bundled as generic packages with windows
...one can decompile windows and see the original comments from the code
...75% of the space windows occupies is junk comments that can be 
removed after aforementioned decompile
...a unix kernel has no form of security whatsoever; any security, 
including non-superuser accounts, must be programmed by the admin 
separately or dropped in as modules that the admin configures, and 
contain 'back doors' that those in the know can readily access
...2 semesters of C and Pascal programming at university is sufficient 
to establish certain knowledge that any system security that the OS 
itself handles is bad, third-party software is definitely the way to go
