Here's a question. I heard something about how windows works on these imaginary windows sending info to each other, however windows does not verify the integrity of the data sent to it. This makes it very insecure to someone who knows what they are doing. This correct defition?

So would that mean that if Windows had stuff to validate data, it would be signficantly slower?

No, but that's not the point. The problem exists at a fundamental level. It is not possible to correct it without restructuring the basic operations of the Windows OS. It's the same problem that plagues public AirPort/802.11 networks: No matter how much protection exists against outside attackers, anybody inside the system has a trapdoor available.
