The big cat will always have mice nipping at it's feet :blink: -{ Quote: ""It's very difficult to implement 100 percent efficient kernel in a general purpose operating system," she said, warning that malicious hackers will always find a way around to plant malware on target systems.

Fathi, who is leading a large Microsoft delegation at the hacker conference, agreed that there's no such thing as "100 percent secure software."" }-

"she said" refers to Joanna Rutkowska (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=141457)

If anyone finds a video of the demo from the conference, I'd like to see it.

You're right Bubba - M$ is trying hard to address Security with Vista - it won't ever be perfect (nothing is or will be) but it's leaps and bounds above what they provided/addressed in the past. ;) :) To bad they're gonna implement and force strict DRM controls on end users ... elminating freedoms we have a right to. >:(

Cool and stuff, but MS has already fixed this according to the article. I think Vista will only become more secure by showcasing the OS at Black Hat, this is really a good move IMO. :)

Joannas work are a means to suggested that Microsoft still has some work to do. Yes it is fixed in later build, she helped Microsoft fix it.:)
