pretty sensible post - but angled pretty much to the Old World of DOS based Windows products. If I ever said anything good about security or management or reliability about that product line, it was a typo or temporary insanity. However, the big corporate desktop management environments I have looked at lock down the user environment pretty tightly. Of course those are NT or Win2K desktops where it is possible to avoid the pitfalls you describe. And finally, I'm not "Blaming" the ISPs - I'm just saying that they are in the best position to help control internet abuse of various kinds, including denial of service and virus propagation. Actually the phone company is at least partially responsible for obscene phone calls and annoying telemarketers and have a lot of services in place to keep those problems off your ear. And the argument is the same - they may not be the creators of the problem but they are the ones in a position to control and mitigate the effects.
