I do like it when news items that happen to come out at around the same time go together so well. Bill Gates announces that Windows Vista is "dramatically more secure than any other operating system released"...
...and in a completely unrelated story, some hacker manages to break Vista's copy-protection system within a week of its launch.
Gives you a nice warm glow inside, doesn't it?

In Gates' defence, he did hire acrobats for the launch ceremony. That's got to be worth something.

I believe I have gone into depth about this elsewhere. But I will say: it may be more secure than XP - but that's like saying something is colder than the centre of the Sun, or more comprehensible than John Prescott... If you want almost total security, go for FreeBSD. Excellent security, go for Linux. Good security (at a price), go for Mac OS. Security that's better than XP (for an absurd cost, both in financial and freedom terms), go for Vista. (NB: Don't go for Vista.)
