Many of the security issues go right down to the core. There are major changes coming in Longhorn.
- Win32 API is going into maintenance mode
- New UI and a new way to work with the AI
- .NET support built in .. in fact, many new features will require .NET
- New, optional file system
- Software services (Ingido)
and many others. Longhorn is still a few years away, but test versions have already been publically released.
>>But then Longhorn will change all that as it's pretty much all new.

>do you realy think the 'completely' re-wrote windows, to get to longhorn? i find that somewhat hard to believe, i mean, windows is supposed to have over 1 million lines of code (if i remember that correctly). thats an afull big rewrite.
