New Windows Vista hacked already
The marketing propaganda touting Microsoft’s new Vista operating system as “the most secure version of Windows yet” has done nothing to stop both white and black hat hackers from discovering Vista vulnerabilities. Unless you simply enjoy acting as an experimental Microsoft guinea pig, it’s best to wait before trying to run Windows Vista.
Quite disturbing were recent revelations that MicrosoftÂ’s own Live OneCare antivirus program, tailored specifically for Vista, is unable to block many well-known computer viruses. Another antivirus package from McAfee also fails to do the job. This fulfills predictions made in early 2006 by antivirus firm Symantec (maker of Norton AntiVirus) that, because of MicrosoftÂ’s failure to provide ways for antivirus programmers to fully integrate their products with Vista, many antivirus programs would have a hard time protecting Vista users. I guess that includes Microsoft, as well.
Russian hackers posted instructions to an underground forum describing how to implement “privilege escalation,” which could bypass some Vista security measures. This hack could escalate the “privileges” of a normal Vista user into that of a “superuser,” allowing him to change anything he desired on the system. This would be particularly dangerous in a corporate environment where normal computer users have limited privileges, in that they cannot install programs, visit certain Web sites, etc. This threat is considered so serious that Microsoft has scrambled its “Security Response Center,” which is ostensibly still trying to figure out what to do.

In fact, a few days back they emailed me to inform me about this and will charge me nothing for it...ain't i lucky? lol...Originally posted by ceecookie:u need to pay $29.99 for shipping..and the shipping date is March according to mine...so u have to wait -
