Forget what Microsoft says about Vista being the most secure version of Windows yet. More to the point, what do the hackers think of it?

In a nutshell, they think it's an improvement, but at the end of the day, it's just like everything else they dissect—that is, breakable.

"Not all bugs are being detected by Vista," pointed out famed hacker H.D. Moore. "Look at how a hacker gets access to the driver: Right now I'm working on Microsoft's automated process to get Metasploit-certified. It [only] costs $500."
