You can't blame this on Vista - at least I don't think you can. ASLR and DEP have been around for 40 years in the mainframe and mini-computer worlds and they have been considered good secure enhancements there. I know Linux will use DEP when available, I don't know if it uses ASLR, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. It will be interesting to know more details when they are released. Are we all ready to go back to gopher? That might be what it takes. Regards, Michael B.

Scary doesn't begin to describe it, they basically usurped all the Vistas Security controls, basically opening up the door for hackers, and virus writers and the like to backdoor Vista systems at will, using M$ own technologies against them. We all know you cant deny every >NET assembly, or create an Active X whitelist to cover all your controls big enough for most organizations, and think if you conver your HIPS or other desktop control software to allow IE to run, you might also be letting in the exact attack vectors that will bring the systems down. We also know that blocking Active Scripting, and Active X objects in Internet Zone isn't going to work for all cases and might cause applications to stop working and users to stop working. And they said Vista was more secure? Z Edward E.
