Very interesting comments; I’ve learned a lot. BTW, as of August of this year, some folks who should know were saying that Vista was not just vulnerable, but hopelessly so — could not be patched. Even if that has been fixed now, which I doubt, it’s yet more evidence that Microsoft richly deserves all the bashing it gets, and more.

Windows is simply dangerous. If you use it, you should not be on the internet, because you put both yourself and many others at risk. Your box can be literally taken over and used as part of a botnet — and you won’t even know it happened.
