The remote attack surface for a patched Windows XP SP2 machine with the Windows firewall enabled is pretty small. I have every reason to expect the attack surface for Vista to be as small or smaller. That, by itself, doesn't mean that users can't do stupid things that will get their machines compromised. So I'm not sure why you'd be so unconcerned with user security.
