RE:Gibson Research says that Windows XP and Windows 2000 will be MUCH more useful than previous versions to hackers wanting to do distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. I disagree completely. Win2000/XP is widely used right now. If it is so easy to hack/crack, I think we would have some braggarts explaining their exploits. Anybody that has done administration on a system knows that old Windows(Win95/98/ME) systems are much more vulnerable to attack. The guys on this page are still trying to figure things out... Good luck to them.
