Vista's Virgin Networking Stack
,----[ Quote ]
| ...Windows Vista contains a completely virgin network stack that has
| been programmed from the ground up. The Symantec software engineers
| have monitored the behaviour of the new stack through a series of
| beta releases and have documented that it contains most of the basicb
| ugs and security holes that have long since been fixed in other stacks -
| even the Windows 95 stack. Since it has not had a chance to mature and
| develop in the wild, the likelihood that it contains new, uncharted holes
| and errors is very high. Some have already been found. Gibson stresses
| that the ramifications for the security of the new stack are disastrous.
