That along with the horrible architecture of Windows systems that just about invites malware. Vista failed miserably in both architecture and privileges and in an attempt to fix that in Windows 7, the privilege of accounts is nullified as it was in XP.
Speaking of XP, it's still the target of most malware and probably will be for some time as most Windows computers still run it (as opposed to 7/Vista/8).

The fact that third-party software tops malware charts and absence of Blaster, Sobig, Nimda, etc. kind of pandemics doesn't back up your claim.
