Damn it's easy to cause a buffer overrun on Windows systems. Until now we've seen tons of little patches for IE, Media Player, Outlook Express, Winamp etc. to prevent buffer overrun, but finally it looks like there's going to be protection from that kind of exploits on hardware (CPU) level. Which of course means even if the software is vulnerable the CPU won't let the buffer overrun happen. Anyway, it's good to be on Linux (though I still use Windows too). A couple of months ago there were some serious attempts to hack some Linux servers using ssh. Well, that wasn't very successfull as the hacking scripts were trying to guess the root password. If that's the best way to break into a Linux system I feel pretty safe.
