"Worse, trying to merge the PC and phone ... is not what the market wants or has ever looked for."
Exactly the reason Chrome OS is out there. If this concept exists, it would be easier to Google selling their services. They try to change the business landscape.

On XP I use two accounts, one is restricted user for everyday use, and another has administrator privileges, and I switch to it only when installing something. I never browse as root/Administrator. This has saved my computer number of times, both from trojans and attempts to install "bundled programs" (Adobe does that too).

Another good XP habit I got from Linux is to make separate partition for home, root and swap. I have three partitions - one with c:\windows\ inside, another d:\ where I move "My documents", and Outlook data files, and e:\ where I move the swap file. Then it is easy to set separate permissions, and disallow the "user" to touch anything in c:\. Also, it is easier to make ghost copy of c: and reinstal the system in mint condition in 10 minutes, while keeping all my data.
