Er.. Vaporware...?
To be fair if people can't talk about the vulnerabilities in vapourware, surely we shouldn't have the ZDNet vapourware articles at all. Clearly this would exclude all MS articles from this site;-)

Funny... Vaporware usually means something that doesn't exist. Oddly enough, when I look at the bottom right corner of my screen - I see Vista Beta 2 build 5384 Evaluation Version...

As the stamp in the bottom right corner says - it's a BETA. And as such, there are proper channels for reporting issues, vulnerabilities and other bugs. Making these bugs public serves NO one - especially if those bugs have been fixed in a later build than the one they're reporting on.

Of course, reporting bugs in an older version serves only ONE purpose - headlines.
