"We evaluated the security features of Windows XP SP2 on a test machine, following a clean install of XP Pro with no configuration changes and no third-party software or drivers installed. We installed XP with the NTFS file system, choosing all of the factory defaults, then patched it with each recommended security update including SP-1 (required), before installing SP2."

If you think you know more about security than an author who has written a book on it, go buy that swamp land.
Just because he points out the failings doesn't make him anti-MS, it just means he's actually investigated it unlike some here who would just install it.
The design of Windows is known to be a pile of sand regards security and until you wake up to that fact, you are deluding yourself. Build on sand and that construction will collapse.
