Not to get snarky or OS elitist but as I understand it windows security, even during its support period has been measured in low digit number of days in the year when is NOT an outstanding known remote root compromise or combination of remote user compromise + priviledge escalation. Add in phishing, watering holes, malware and the average windows computer is probably compromised a dozen times over. Apparently for sometime it was not easily possible to secure it install boot - install OS, connect to network to download security updates, IP range scanned and compromised faster than you can patch it.
