With all the new code in vista we can expect it to be given special
treatment. Five years to develop and 0-day exploits going at 50k a pop
before anyone is really using it. Maybe MS should have released SP3
for XP instead of betting the farm on what is no more than XP SP3 from
a functionality point of view.

Security is one of those funny things. You can talk about being "more"
secure, but there's no such thing. A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and
even one makes you just as insecure as anyone else. Security is a binary
condition, either you are or you aren't. - Funkenbusch 1 Oct 2006
