According to a notation tucked into the DOJ's joint statement with Microsoft regarding continued compliance with various agreed-upon standards and remedies, Microsoft expects Service Pack 1 for Vista to be in beta by the end of the year. In addition, a Microsoft security executive released data Thursday showing that, six months after shipping Windows Vista, his company has left more publicly disclosed Vista bugs unpatched than it did with Windows XP.

You seem to have missed most of the point of his post. The router is only one fix; he implied that that is the only one you'll spend money on. Running antivirus/antispyware, keeping up with security patches and updates (including SP2), not running P2P software (my personal opinion here: Use bittorrent instead and be extremely careful of what you download from torrent sites), and overall just being vigilant will all go towards having a secure Windows-based system.
Oh, and I guess you've never heard the term "security by obscurity"? It's not the be-all-end-all of security by a long shot, but it's better than nothing.

what you do isnt secure windows, and windows doesent get a shitpoint more secure from it, what you do is HIDE windows, so it wont see the "nasty" internet.
