This is huge: Two security researchers have developed a new technique that essentially bypasses all of the memory protection safeguards in the Windows Vista operating system, an advance that many in the security community say will have far-reaching implications not only for Microsoft, but also on how the entire technology industry thinks about attacks. In a presentation at the Black Hat briefings, Mark Dowd of IBM Internet Security Systems (ISS) and Alexander Sotirov, of VMware Inc. will discuss the new methods they've found to get around Vista protections such as Address Space Layout Randomization(ASLR), Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and others by using Java, ActiveX controls and .NET objects to load arbitrary content into Web browsers. By taking advantage of the way that browsers, specifically Internet Explorer, handle active scripting and .NET objects, the pair have been able to load essentially whatever content they want into a location of their choice on a user's machine.

The Vista operating system has a bad reputation -- and Microsoft is setting out to repair it. Problem is, the effort might be too late, according to today's guest, CNET News.com's Ina Fried . Microsoft yesterday unveiled the Mojave Experiment . People were shown an upcoming operating system called Mojave, only to learn later it was really the much-maligned Vista. The subjects in the experiment -- predictably perhaps -- raved about the OS and were quite surprised to learn it was Vista, which many people view as buggy and incapable of working with a lot of hardware. The following is an edited transcript of my interview with Fried: FRIED: There's nothing wrong with it (Mojave experiment) per se. There are some limitations. Here they're shown Vista and given a chance to use it in a controlled setting. That's not the same as trying to install it on your existing computer, trying to upgrade software, the kinds of things people have to do every day. So think it's a valid experience but it's a limited experience. GORDON: Doesn't the experiment point to a Vista weakness, that it requires a professional demo to get people to understand and like it? FRIED: One of the challenges of Vista is it changes a bunch of things. Add some of those changes are perceived as positive in the ether but are not perceived as positive when people are using them, doing the things they do every day. So if you look at Vista and it's sort of a concept, no something you ... Source: www.roughlydrafted.com --- 4 days ago

This is how bad things have gotten for Microsoft Corp.: The software behemoth has a virtual monopoly in computer operating systems, and yet it still can’t get people to buy the latest version of its flagship product, Windows. In fact, things are so bleak for Windows Vista that customers have actually launched campaigns aimed at saving Vista’s stiffest competition -- the previous version of Windows, XP, which is now so old in technology years that it should qualify for Social Security. To Microsoft’s credit, the company knows it has a problem, and it has decided to address it directly with an ad campaign arguing that the product isn’t as bad as people think it is. To their detriment, they’ve fumbled that, too. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.) Microsoft A new campaign, called the "Mojave Experiment," shows a series of regular users who seem to like Windows Vista a lot -- as long as they don’t think it’s Windows Vista. Instead, the users have been told that they are seeing a demonstration of "Mojave," an even newer version of the operating system. The campaign also includes many of the negative things people have heard about Vista, to get a sense of why so many people think they won’t like it. The idea behind that is apparently to show that there is little context behind these suppositions. But here’s the problem: there’s also little context to this campaign. We don’t actually see much footage of people t ...

Vista is Microsoft's sixth generation Operating System and features more focus on bundled functionality, more streamlined networking, and improved security. Compared to the previous standard - Windows XP - Vista contains a more integrated and consistent technology base which Microsoft hopes will reduce the number of software and hardware compatibility issues. On the security side, every module has been made secure to reduce and prevent malicious software from ruining the computer, however the downside is the Vista "User Access Control" panel which has been made the butt of many jokes for being too annoying. Versions Vista comes in 6 flavors, that... ...
