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.

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

I've read quite a bit on it thanks, I really can't see anything that's:
a) Worth the Hardware upgrade
b) worth upgrading over Windows 2000, never mind XP
c) worth the alleged 6 Billion, BILLION!!, USD that MS spend on research each year, for how many years have they been working on this?
But I can see lots they've borrowed off MacOS.
But heck, I've never used it, maybe it would be worth giving more money to Microsoft.

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..
