No exceptional, NOT really earlier to say Vista-is-safe-enough unless the user-know-know-how-to-protect their pc very well... blush.gif

Windows XP and Vista DEP NO DIFFERENCES as I can see...
Correct me if wrong...

After the DEP DISABLE, hacker can be easily enter the Vista same way like Windows XP...
Correct me if wrong...

Thus, Vista incompatible issue like hardware and software still far-away to completions... dry.gif

Well, UAC is indeed a new security feature implemented into Vista by which it involves the manipulation of the integrity level. However, what's the use of UAC if users just merely click "Allow" for the sake of getting rid of it without the intention of even reading the prompt or identifying it. I just couldn't understand why users find it annoying. If you have been using Linux for a long time, you should know that this isn't anything. Linux has long ago implemented security elevation prompt (well known as sudo or gksu), much like today's UAC.

In conclusion, users have only themselves to blame for their curiosity when dealing with e-mail attachments and their lacklustre behaviour when dealing with security prompts.

Agree with Mystical Zero. It all comes down to the User, like I said just now.

DEP can only Prevent to a certain extent. Other than that, it is (short of calling it, frankly) useless against attacks that it is NOT MADE for. And, this is also discussed before.

Thus, the best security is still the user's Brain. No Brain, Goner. Cheers! laugh.gif
