"hackers" are the kind of folks who usually improve things with creative changes for the better. What we're dealing with here is organized crime types and it's all about money. Thus, they strive for the low hanging fruit, the easy kill, and sadly I can't see Windows ever escaping the "spy vs. spy" reality simply because the operating system is not secure and cannot be *made* secure. And while MS have made some good strides, slackers like Adobe are still out there.These criminal enterprises have the money and wherewithall to keep beating at something until they break in and sadly XP is the lowest hanging fruit and always will be. Vista was a brokedown pain in the ass, and maybe Win7 will be a *little* safer. But in the end, because of a really bad core design, it'll get pwned as well. Microsoft will never do what is required to actually secure Windows because they're unwilling to retrain their customers in a truly hardened OS that will say, "no, you can't do that" and stand firm on "no" despite the whining it would cause. Rest assured though, they'll get Win7 and its little dog too. |
