Now that Windows Vista security has been wholly compromised...

Question

...will this affect other platforms as well?

"...Researchers who have read the paper that Dowd and Sotirov wrote on the techniques say their work is a major breakthrough and there is little that Microsoft can do to address the problems. The attacks themselves are not based on any new vulnerabilities in IE or Vista, but instead take advantage of Vista's fundamental architecture and the ways in which Microsoft chose to protect it..."

Answer 1

Fascinating, maybe this will speed along the development of the next OS, most people hate vista anyways, it's a resource hog among many other problems. I cannot say if it will affect others, not until I can read the paper.

Thanks for that article.
