And how do we ensure that an update doesn't come along specifically to open up an exploit or a back door?
It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not, the exploits are there. Even OpenBSD hasn't managed to keep remote exploits out of their system (although practically speaking, good luck breaking into an OpenBSD system).

WTF in the goddamn hell do you fucking WANT. You complain because Windows is not secure. You complain when they secure it.
I want people to not pretend they are giving security when they are just requiring drivers to be signed. That's a joke, and not a funny one.
