Mundie said 100% secure software is an impossible near-term goal, but he said a good alternative is an IT "immune system" consisting of a collaboration of machines and networks. Mundie also said the controversial security report could be the work of anti-Microsoft groups.

Some help with RunAs
It is possible to run a program from another user's context, but the way Windows 2000 and XP Professional implement this feature requires that the user know the password for the other account. This makes it difficult to run the program securely. Learn about the solution, which involves the use of Windows Script Host to create a script that can run the program in the appropriate context and provide the password non-interactively.
