Windows as vulnerable as it ever was

Microsoft's 'super secure' operating system Vista will be plagued by hackers just as much as its predecessor XP, a security boffin has warned.
Marc Maiffret, founder and chief hacking officer of eEye Digital Security said hackers were starting to look at how to turn over Vista and have already found five or six different Vista-specific vulnerabilities.
No other software company does more to secure its code than Microsoft, but it is weird that people think that there is going to be a point where the operating system is impenetrable as this is never going to happen, he said.
Now, there's practially no OS which doesn't have bugs; but if you market your system as unhackable, you're just asking for it.
