What is really interesting is that the OS who's guts are exposed for the whole world to see was not able to be Pwned. And yet Vista which has been patching for the last year (which is what SP1 is), was still taken over. Granted it was through a third party but if the OS was really secure it should be able to stop that in an intelligent manner. What really amusing is SteveB at Microsoft.com, where he says in an ENTnews article, "Why should code written randomly by some hacker in China and contributed to some open-source project, why is its pedigree by definition somehow better than the pedigree of something that is written in a controlled fashion?" he asked. "I don't buy that."
Is this 'controlled fashion' really better? It would seem not.
