[XCSSA] winXP: the choice of malicious hackers everywhere.

[Charles Peterson]

I have some misgivings about what Steve Gibson wants Microsoft to do.
In some sense, every kid with a linux box is an administrator.  So,
why should folks with Windows XP have any less power than they already
do (don't)?  The days of every internetworked machine being under the
lock and key of a trusted authority are long over.  We have got to
find our security some other way, I think now.

I'm surprised M$ didn't jump on the idea.  "Say, we can lock users
out more than we already do..."  I wouldn't be surprised if they were
already working on it.
