Does this surprise anyone? No real computer geek would have expected anything else.

Interesting story. Even the Vista hack wasn't a "Vista" hack as such; instead, it was a problem with Java that allowed one to compromise the Vista system.

That's far better than I expected of Vista, and a bit worse than I would have guessed for the Mac. I am not surprised about the Linux machine being impervious --- but I would not have been surprised if Linux had been the first compromised since its openness is both an advantage and a liability.
