Well, if these "vulnerabilities" are like most of the other ones that have been "found", I'm not worried. They included "having to have access to the machine" and a java-exploit that could, on a longshot, be used to get a file in the root from Vista (and XP etc.). Hardly earthshattering vulnerabilities. But Vista is new, Vista is said to be secure, so there's a lot more prestige coming up with finding "vulnerabilities" in Vista. |
