Microsoft Vista – Most secure OS since their last most secure OS
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007I been out of the scene for a while, but this morning I was reading @RISK and noticed the volume of remote code execution vulnerabilities in Windows Vista.
Man, if that OS was even usable, I’d be worried, but since I don’t think ANYONE is using it, I am not too concerned.
It baffles me, though.
All the talk of security… I knew it was a front. Microsoft is an expert at FUD and protecting themselves from it.
I almost never hear people bashing Microsoft’s security any more. Too bad, because from where I’m sitting, it doesn’t look like it’s getting any better.
Here’s one bug I was reading: Security Update for Outlook Express and Windows Mail (941202)
On another note, yesterday I built an Ubuntu Linux PC, installed a hex-editor, connected it to my corporate LAN, downloaded a thick-client Windows executable we are experimenting with, and extracted “protected content” from the .exe. All that fun in less than 30 minutes.
Rock on,
Bill
