Yup. Windows is crap, but claiming that there are 'unpatchable' security holes simply doesn't make sense. It is code. Code can be changed. And if it is impossible to fix code flaws by changing it, simple logic would show that it wasn't a Windows problem, but a fundamental problem with computer architecture.
Many of these Windows security scares seem to be ultimately sourced to people who have a vested interest in promoting them - antivirus software producers, and other marketers of IT security solutions. The issue needs to be taken seriously, but hyperbole doesn't help.
