Win 7 (out of the box) less secure than Vista?

According to several opinions, professional or not, Windows 7 is supposed to
be less secure than Vista in its default configuration:

How true is this statement?
Personally I am a 'Vista' fan.

All that says is that it doesn't warn you if you have no anti-virus
installed. That's not at all less secure except to the extremely
ignorant person who doesn't know that everyone needs an anti-virus
program.

You can bet your boots, Pap Smear, oops Pahp Shmir, that I will and, if you
love Win 7 so much, why are you here?
Where Alias is concerned, he is using Win 7 faithfully & effectively as I
understand it and without trying to defend him. But he is using a different
name when providing help.
Being a 'dolt' is more up your alley.
Have fun...
