MS to Black Hat crackers: Bring it on! Filed under: Security , Windows Vista If you still need convincing that Microsoft has gotten around to putting security muscle ahead of -- or at least on par with -- wiz-bang and aesthetics, consider its latest stunt. The AP reports that Microsoft has thrown down the gauntlet to around 3,000 security experts at Black Hat, challenging them to uncover holes in the latest version of Vista. Microsoft has told the tech community time and again that it's taking security very, very seriously in its forthcoming OS. Skepticism remains, which certainly wasn't alleviated by Symantec's report last month that the new Windows code will unleash new security problems.
