Security tools that work with Windows Vista have failed tests to see if they can detect viruses circulating online. Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare security tool was one of four products that failed independent tests carried out by the Virus Bulletin. The security testing group found that Live OneCare missed far more active viruses than any other program tested.

//What exact "stupid design decisions" MS uses in Vista//
Design decision = binary backward compatibility with executables for XP/2000/NT/98/95.
That design decision also means binary backward compatibility with literally hundreds of thousands of active malware & viruses out there.
That is just asking for trouble.
