Microsoft has shipped the first critical security update for Windows Vista, the next version of its flagship operating system. Over the weekend, the company released patches for beta testers running the Windows Vista December CTP and Windows Vista Beta 1, and warned that the new operating system was vulnerable to a remote code execution flaw in the Graphics Rendering Engine.

So I guess those 130-something-odd updates FC4 wants me to install after I boot it for the first time are just for new features?

Please.

The point is Windows is still the same old Windows, loads of Kludges to make it safe to surf the good 'ol InterWeb. They've had what, 6 years? Spent How much on research, and what have we got? NT7? And some fancy transparent windows.

BTW please LiP don't call me a Linux fan, cuz I'm not. My OS of choice has terrible security, but it's just so insignificant no one cares about it..

If that's all you think Vista amounts to, you haven't done much research.
