Malware writers appear to be much further along in developing malware for Vista than the security industry is in making products to protect the new operating system. Speaking exclusively to IT PRO, Tim Eades, senior vice-president of sales at security company Sana Security said that 38 per cent of malware is already Vista-compatible. "Malware writers have gone through the WHQL list to make sure that their code works on new machines," he said. "They have managed to port code to Vista quicker than the security industry."

Yet another extremist view; I guess you're also a creationist as well.
The defender API provides the necessary userspace API to access the necessary lower level of the operating system without needing to place things within kernel space to make it possible; in otherwords, its a uniform way of accessing those neither regions which all vendors can exploit.
Again, look at the facts and stop taking an extremist position based on ignorance and scaremongering.
