Though microsoft is buildin vista from scratch.. they can't make it SECURE for ever.. it's just a matter of time.. b4 some1 cracks it..
they r jus tryin 2 do it..
n they can't make it bcoz..
1)vista is not a open source project like openbsd..which is d securest os u will ever see.. they r just hiring ppl 2 code 4 it.. ppl bounded by limitations n deadlines..
2)given a choice btw user friendliness n security.. they will go for d former.. bcoz. that's y windows is more popular then linux.. u don't need man pages to run it..
3)they r making it simple for users.. n complicated inside.. while these two things don't match.. sooner or later problems will come..
4)wid integration of.net technologies and clr built into the box..
we r yet 2 see how it goes.. will it make it more secure or vulnerable..
let's see wat happens in d conference..
it's always better for guyz who know too less...

open source OS'es will certainly help hackers develop malicious code like rootkits , troajans faster n complicated..but won't they develop malicious code if d source is not known..now a days variety of reverse enginnering techniques n code analyzing techniques r coming up.. it's always just a matter of time.. n how much u r willin to pay 4 it.. n hackers have it all.. but on d other side it will help other ppl provide solutions easily,... otherwise even if u r coding for a third party product . n the opertaing system got a security problem.. or a backdoor.. even ur a application is a at risk..
