principles even Microsoft now recommends
Uh, actually, since Windows NT 3.1 came out, Microsoft has always had significant recommendations of good security practices. Most are well-known basics (don't install what you don't need, use separation of privilege, close ports, etc, etc) and others are Windows-specific. The problem is, not a lot of people bothered to look and just assumed it was the same as Windows 3.1 (a single-user OS with no security). Any Windows admin worth his salt, and there's quite alot of them out there, will tell you security has never been an issue with Windows, bad admins are.
