Wonderful. I guess this indicates the real security of the Windows
series OS.

No, it doesn't. It indicates your misunderstanding of how computer
security works. Any computer running any operating system can be
accessed by someone with 1) physical access; 2) time; 3) skill; 4)
tools. It has nothing to do with the operating system.
