Thank you Hackers!

Every one of your finding is making Windows more secure as it "requires" Microsoft to patch those holes. Without you, Windows would have lived in Wonderland just focussing on beating up the competition and churning the latest and greatest products (?) and not worry about Security that much.

But I have bad news for you guys as well. Your sucesses will be your failures in the future. My prediction is that in a year from now (yes, exactly 12 months from now), Windows will be so harderned and patched up, it will be next to impossible (but still possible) to find a security hole. This is also partly due to the closed source nature. You will then move on to Mac & *nix as you will be give up on Windows.

Here are somethings to support my prediction:
Windows web server more secure than Linux
Windows is more secure than Linux, claim researchers

Well, I don't think we are there yet but it is heading in that direction. Thank you all again for doing a service to Windows even though your motives for doing this is highly questionable.
