Windows Vista has roughly 50 million lines of code and uses a requires 40gb in HD space. As we all know more code = more bugs & exploits.

I am amazed that they have not taken some basic steps such a discontinuing support for ActiveX. It's rather ironice since ActiveX is a desktop protocol that began as OLE by IBM in OS/2 presentation manager.
