Microsoft has done a LOT for security but it's not quite properly done yet.

EMET is an example of a great idea implemented poorly, it should be built right into the kernel.

If that was the case, some current software would not run. It may force software developers to make it work with EMET, but if not, then we're screwed to using older versions of Windows.
