The PWN 2OWN contest , as we all lie with , saw theMac OS X weed decay first , with Vista following soon after . Ubuntu was the only OS that was heavy to attack , but news show is surfacing that Vista should have had a foresightful line of life , if only Adobe had patched the fault they knew about all along .

Yup , it ’s on-key ; Adobe not only knew about the security flaw that Shane Macaulay used to cut Vista , they even had a patch prepared . Only thing is , they had n’t convey round to releasing it . In fact , the patch was scheduled for release in the next Flash Player update after in the month .
Thankfully , Adobe were not in the dark about the security risk , however , if they were in the know , do n’t you guys think they have a responsibility to release the fix ASAP ? put our system at unnecessary jeopardy due to our option to support third company software package just does n’t seem bonnie . Further , asking for organisation constancy and security system to be made a priority should be a given at all times , or so we reckon . Worse still , the defect may have cost Vista the title of dense OS , and that ’s gon na hurt the MS fanboys dearly . After all , guess if OS X had been the only hacked operating system ; we think said fanboys may have had something to brag about , or at least a intellect to plug Mr Smug Mac in his face .
