    easson = No friggin clue.

    The first thing you do NOT do when defending Microsoft, is pull nonsense form THEIR own blogs.

    You have to be pretty dumb to think they don't use blogging in their own form of propaganda and nonsense. BTW, its NOT 6 out of 100+. That's what Microsoft wants you to believe.

    Because the RIAA is nothing but the Mafia with a coporate image.

    Restricted user does NOT necessarily protect you if the code base has a hole such that it allows the attacker to gain Admin privilages.

    It can mitigate most common issues, but that is not to say, it should be the only thing you do or rely on.

    ASLR capability can be added to Win2k/XP/2k3 by installing WehnTrust (free version).

    If you need to run something you don't trust, then do it with an app called Sandboxie.

    Security is multi-faceted. You can't rely on one component. It must be backed up with something else, in case if something really hits the fan. You have to assume nothing is bullet proof, and everything can be broken.

    Allchin is doing nothing more than advertising for Vista. (Its Microsoft remember, they need to make money).

    If you can add features or do things that rival a default Vista installation, its one less excuse to upgrade to Vista.

    (Then, it just boils down to pointless eye-candy and DirectX 10.0)

    Really? That's your experience.
    (A rather limited one at that).

    So if I dropped in Joanna Rutkowska's Blue Pill exploit, is it gonna help when you have an AMD SVM or Intel VT enabled system?

    No.

    At best, you're just like every other clueless Windows admin.

    Setting up restricted user doesn't necessarily mean you're 100% secure. If the code itself sucks, there is always a way to get to the admin or root account. And hence, take the system.

    You ain't no hacker or cracker of any sort. Until the day you make a presentation at the annual Black Hat conference or prove yourself to the world that you are worthy of listening to, at best, we can accept your post as limited user experience.
