Excellent post by every standard! Well done!

I just quoted the first part of your post to make sure we are on the same page. I take it you mean that includes a much more diligent and responsible effort and attitude by Microsoft in writing the code for their products? That would cover not only security issues but other bugs or glitches as well. Nobody is perfect but Microsoft should do a better job of trying to achieve it!
Yes, that is what I mean.

Of course, it goes far beyond just writing the code. It also has to do with supporting the code they write. Mind you, they do that now, but at the rate exploits are found they need to do it faster and better. Any system can be better and while Microsoft has improved, I expect to see more improvement from them down the road. Especially if they continue to have a stranglehold on the OS market.
