Did the US government ever loose any sleep over training/arming/supporting the very same Taliban they are fighting now? Well, there's your answer. The world changes rapidly and as a result of that, nobody cares anymore for anything else than making more money whatever way they can. Also, where (big) money or (big) politics is involved, such things as "freedom", "free speech" and "justice" are just third class issues.
I took about 2 minutes the last time I remember this was *accidentally* tested on our/16 network (XP SP2, way down in mid-2006).
But this is not a Windows problem per-se. Any other OS, in a post-install state, will eventually get compromised. It's just a matter of time.
Solution: build + patch + secure offline, then deploy.
