it must have been discussed before i am not posting this here to make anather " linux is better(secure)as compared to windows" thread we all know that and we all agree to that although microsoft responds to security vulnerabilities pretty fast but still i believe windows is insecure by default.
take a look at these two links
http://zone-h.org/en/advisories/read/id=6392/
http://www.packetstormsecurity.nl/fi...rflow.pdf.html

one microsoft product having medium level security vulnerability and anather windows based player having buffer overflow.
although second is not microsoft related bug but still i am posting it here.
what i was thinking while reading these two post is "what microsoft can do to make windows better in terms of security?"
if they make windows an open source OS would it make any difference to softwares like winamp to not make these stupid mistakes( i think this is third exploit in a short time fow winamp)

again the first vulnerability in IE confirms that microsoft needs major changes if they want to be anywhere close to linux.may be they have to design a new OS right from the beginning.

if u still have any doubt or if u don't agree a little bit see this)
