The makers of the most secure operating system in the world, Microsoft is calling on hackers to try and take down its SP2 version of XP.

The fighting talk came from Vole's UK head Alistair Baker has told hackers that if they could get through a Windows XP system with SP2 running he would be impressed.

He said his company's Windows XP operating system update was the "first big line we have drawn in the sand" to combat security breaches and spam. Now while we are impressed with Alistair's commitment to his product, we do think he is asking for trouble.
