A proper, free OS that says:
Sure, your XYZZY software can have X information...but don't count on me not
playing "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego" with it!
That is, the permission model seen by a given App isn't necessarily the true
permission model. It is only the walls of its private sandbox.
Sandboxes need to become the province of everyone, not just a few virus
researchers.
I don't want to trust even the free software developers.

You are using an obsolete definition of the term 'malware' here.
Malware is not software that does what _you_ do not want it to do. In the new
era of walled gardens and locked software, malware is something that would do
what the device or OS vendor does not want it to do.
Such as, find out what applications actually do get access to all your data, and
where these data are being sent to.
Simply locking out Linux boot isn't a good enough motive for MS. In the face of
their tablet plans, there has got to be a more sinister plan at work.
I only wish I was joking ...
