I thought Vista was the most secure OS there is far less the most
secure version of Windows.Clearly it is neither. Only to be expected
of course. You just cannot hack security into such a huge piece of
software that was 'designed' with no regard to security. If there's a
brighter side to this, it is that this is just another reason not to
install Vista. It does make you wonder just how much (little) Vista
code is new.
