Let't see, million of lines of new code, plus all of the old rats nest for
backwards compatibility. Seem rather hard to imagine that this will be any more secure than XP. Couple that with the increasing sophistication of the people creating atack code, and the ready availability of template code, and Vista will probably see one vulnerability after another. And, don't forget Microsfts refusal to remove old dangerous code that helps them maintain lock-in, like ActiveX.

Linux is looking better all the time for those interested in security.
