Vista su sploit makes NYT

Vista su sploit makes NYT

The NY Times has a habit of removing articles two weeks after posted, so don't
dawdle to read this story about privelege elevation exploits in Vista.  A sploit
for IE7 is also cited, as well as the elevation insecurity within the Vista
beta.

Not having Vista myself, I can't comment on this exploit; the one 30-day beta I
did try this summer was attractive, yet plagued (as early betas often are) with
hindrances (as First Blogger Jerry Pournelle noted, it required user permission,
annoyingly, far too often).  

Should I acquire a Vista system, I will report back in my tech blog on any meat
behind the problems noted in the press, for they don't always get it right.
