Shock and awe; Windows Vista has been released to the hounds (that would be us). As just about every publication has reiterated a thousand times over it took 5+ years of design and development and cost USD 5.5 billion both directly and indirectly. We were promised (maybe not even promised, but bullshitted) a revolutionary operating system and what we got is for you to determine for yourselves. I personally think it's a disappointment to say the least.

That fact that these were dicovered and fixed before the the release of XP only makes the havoc that they were able to wreak even worse.
I don't claim to recall exactly, but didn't those only affect Win2k systems?
And didn't all of those viruses depend on exploits for which patches had been released months earlier?
