I'm not buying this "commentary" either. MS is not dumb. They didn't get to be the largest by abusing customers or producing a product that no one wants. What happens when Microsoft decides to leak just enough details of its internal workings to allow people to write malware that takes advantage of undocumented behaviors, but not enough details to stop them? So the only way to run a safe system will be to either downgrade to 98 or upgrade to Vista?

Hacker love challeges, they would prefer to go up against Windows Vista that older OS's because it is the newest OS on the block.
