Vista Beta hacked
 

Black Hat security conference in Vegas

Just found this interesting though hardly surprising. It's, fortunately, still beta and hopefully there will be careful consideration of how this hack occurred by Microsoft.

That was pretty cool, thanks :D

Reminds me of a line from Futurama

Indeed.

M$: LOOK! Vista is the safest OS EVER!!!!!! w000000000000 h0000000000000!!!!
*Hacker clicks button*
*Vista BSODs*
M$: Hey, at least we have your money!!!!! w000000000000 h0000000000000!!!!
Hacker: But you gave me a free Beta.
M$: Damn.

As big and complex as Vista is I do not believe it will be securable at launch and I really wonder if it will be like XP is 5 years after launch...

It's good that things like this are being caught in beta.

Who else saw the title of this thread and thought "Not surprising."?

Macs are the future of the world. Windows will slowly decline into nothingness, and everyone will switch to Macs. Gates will then become a hobo.

I'm going to go right ahead and ignore the last post.

What the hell are you smoking/huffing/drinking/injecting/licking/dropping/popping/snorting that makes you think this is even remotely accurate or plausible?

Not to mention somewhat off-topic. :P

Why must people use the M$ thingy.... please for the love of all that is not cliche, dont use it.

lol

I believe that's not the first time you've said as much.

(sorry...been dying to use this...)

Ahahaha, nice one, Innoc.

I, also, hate the use of "M$".

Thier has already been news of XP having better security then vista.

I think you are getting Linux and Macs confused...

Linux will take over the world, just as soon as all the major games are supported.
Which isn't that far away. I can already play tfc and css on linux. So long as I will be able to play fortress forever too, then I won't have any need for windows at all.

As long as there are 1239420 different distros of linux and there's a good amount of things that need to be done on the command line you won't see it gain much in market share. The majority of PC buyers are still people that aren't all that computer literate and either get a PC from Dell or go to Best Buy.
