I think the ultimate and best solution will be if some of the rumors of Windows 8 are true and the OS becomes locked down against any application changes of any type and legacy apps are supported through built in virtualization technologies. It sure seems to be the directiton they are going. If they do this well, then Windows will become dramatically more secure and stable by default, and much less prone to long term performance issues. I'm certainly hoping this turns out to be true.
