I have Vista

I have Vista and download updates as needed. I just got hacked, so I guess Vista isn't that great.

Hacked using Vista

I have had Windows since day one and with a few exceptions with "95" I have never had a problem of any kind, I administer 26 PC's of various brands and never had a problem with XP, we upgraded to Vista the day it was released and find it much faster and an overall better OS than XP or anything before XP, I suspect that most of these complaints are either not true or the problems being reported are user generated.

Earth shattering

And in other breaking news- A demonstration was conducted and Ford was alerted today that if the doors of their vehicles are left unlocked and the keys are left in the vehicle, there is a good chance that someone may actually steal the car. Ford spokesperson Justin Case stated they were shocked to find out there security systems could be by passed by not using them.

Give me a break

It is well known fact

Before Windows XP SP2, it is a well known fact.
Actually there are several commercial products use this technique also(Check cisco & Symantec).

Windows XP SP2 is probably the best design of Microsoft.

Windows Vista is simply just add an UAC(User Access Control) component. You can get similiar one for XP from www.syfort.com
