Well I think they applied a lot of ingenuity with XP, and for that
matter W2003 server which you'd expect to be more "Rigid" was the same,
but Vista nitpicks everything (I suppose in the name of "Security) but
in reality is suffering from much the same vulnerabilities... they
should have broken the incestuous relationship between the core and IE,
the core and WMP and come up with totally new products which are
independent leaving their browser and player to develop their own
security. Was time for a different set of products with the same "Look
and feel", instead we got the same old products with a different look
and feel.
