It's October 22 today. A completely random date in the grand scheme of things (we Dutch lost a big naval battle to the Ming dynasty on October 22 1633), but it also happens to be the release date of the newest version of Windows - Windows 7. Since Windows is still the most popular desktop operating system out there, this is pretty big news.

Then insecure compared to what? Vista? OpenBSD (of course, but much more usable) XP? OS X? Perhaps we wouldn't have to put words into your mouth if you actually said something useful. Oh, and they made changes in the RC and RTM to mitigate the flaw.
I can call Linux insecure too, and give no comparisons, no valid reasons, and I would get called on it (violently) so why should you be any different? Win7 is much more secure than it's main competitor, WinXP. It's much much more secure than Win2k, and only a hair less than Vista.
MS's response after changing their mind about the flaw:
