RE: Vista, Leopard, Linux to compete in hack contest
My money is on the linux box getting 0wned first. How can it not when the telnet service is left running on a default install? Let us not forget that whenever a linux box is hacked it usually leaves the server down for weeks!

Windows is really going to shine in this contest.

OS X - I can't comment.

Its going to be a matter of how many people are going to try to hack each server. I'm guessing more people will try for the Windows box because its the most popular but will fail.
