"We evaluated the security features of Windows XP SP2 on a test machine, following a clean install of XP Pro with no configuration changes and no third-party software or drivers installed. We installed XP with the NTFS file system, choosing all of the factory defaults, then patched it with each recommended security update including SP-1 (required), before installing SP2."

I doubt they know more than I did as a kid. I grew up in a family that had computers in the house from about 1981 on (when I was 6). I programmed, I tweaked, I broke them. Just like the teenagers of today. Don't get me wrong. I don't care what kids do with the computers that I build. If they want to break them, and no-one else uses them, then they should go for it. They'll probably learn more that way. I'm just saying you're deluding yourself if you think they are all MIT prospects who are very careful with security. It's in a teenager's nature to push boundaries - they learn that way.
Good luck.
