Windows Vista's hyped security will be tested by hackers

Computer hackers are off and running trying to find vulnerabilities in Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista operating system, putting to test the software maker's claim that it is the most secure Windows program ever.

Vista's comes with built-in anti-spyware software, and new account controls curb the ability of users to unintentionally install harmful programs. The high-end versions come with a feature called BitLocker that encrypts a computer's hard drive in the case of a lost or stolen machine. Windows Vista runs over 50 million lines of software code and Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft invested $6 billion to develop the first new operating system since it released Windows XP in October 2001.
