Honestly, any standard web surfing, wherever you go, for a few hours, will get your pc infested with worms, in no time. With an unpatched browser, that is. These are things that were tested and tested again. And if unpatched browser is so vulnerable it means lots of pirates are out there, and are able to attack more recent browsers as well.

Actually, not really, knowing that our pcs have been infected more than numerous times by worms who enter them by using microsoft Services which have vulnerabilities. Like NetBIOS, or others.

It is undenyably a very good OS, one of the top OSes out there, but it doesn't mean it can be trusted, solely. Without a firewall and a virusscanner, Windows OSes are deer in a lion cage.
