Correction: it is hazardous to *anybody* who will be sharing a network with
Windows Vista machines. This includes the Internet, which is global. But
look at the bright side: with the new translucency effects being rendered,
there will be fewer resource available for brute-force spamming and E-mail
harvesting (DDOS attacks).
And then there's DRM. But most of us will be able to avoid it... until we buy
that DVD, or audio CD, which is not aptly labelled.
Best wishes,
Roy
