Windows Vista Inherits the Sins of the Father
,----[ Quote ]
| Symantec presented a trilogy report following a generalized evaluation
| of the operating system's network stack, User Account Control (UAC)
| technology and kernel mode security and stated an instability
| diagnosis concluding that Vista will deliver an inferior level of
| protection compared to its predecessor.
|
| And Symantec is not a singular case in this regard; security experts
| from Agnitum have pointed the finger at Microsoft for eliminating third
| party proactive protection by denying kernel control via the altering
| of the Service Dispatch Table through the implementation of Kernel
| Patch Protection.
|
| [...]
|
| The sins of the father... Microsoft's incubatory exorcism failed,
| Vista vulnerabilities proved inherent to the system, a collateral
| baggage of the code source genealogy.
