PatchGuard, a Microsoft technology to protect key parts of Windows, will be hacked sooner rather than later, a security expert said Thursday. Hackers will break through the protection mechanism soon after Microsoft releases Windows Vista, Aleksander Czarnowski, a technologist at Polish security company AVET Information and Network Security, said in a presentation at the Virus Bulletin event here. "It will probably take a year or so for it to surface publicly, but I believe it will be broken earlier," he said.

The problem is that real security requires real work to maintain. Users are unwilling or unable to do that work. Hence nothing but an appliance will keep them from getting rooted. An appliance that is maintained by a third party for a fee, like the ISPs. A cross between a thin client and today's computer. Course this would require broadband to do.
