Consider an analogy on the size of modern malicious code: if Windows XP were the size of the Empire State Building, then the little barking Beagle virus - the size of a small dog - can come in through the front door, lift its leg, deliver its payload, and somehow cause the entire building to come crumbling down.
With all the money that Microsoft makes, and all the resources available, for their systems to be so vulnerable to these byte sized viri is indeed malpractice.
