I mistakenly posted this in the XP forum.

Security vendor Authentium has discovered a mechanism to get around Microsoft's controversial Patchguard kernel protection technology, which is due to ship in the 64-bit version of its forthcoming Windows Vista operating system.

. . .PatchGuard technology actually debuted in the x64 edition of Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Professional x64 editions.

here is what microsoft says: 'Security firms ought to work with the APIs provided by Redmond rather than going it alone'

here's what microsoft doesn't say: 'Security agencies require a key to each windows computer, so we can't make it bullet proof.'

why does microsoft play ball? the answer is simple: because they have to if they want to export their product.

Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
