Though Microsoft new operating System after Windows XP in 2001 Windows Vista, about which Microsoft claims that it is there safest platform developed ever, is yet to be launched for general user this january but a flaw has been discovered in it.
Microsoft had launched Windows Vista for bulk users in november last year.This is the first report about the flaw in windows Vista.
Actually a report about the flaw was posted on a russian website recently. Microsoft and independent security agencies and resechers paid attention to this flaw. They found that in the case of this flaw, hacker must have had the physical approach to the system and then he made the system vulnerable by working on it's setting or he asked the system owner to install a rouge software.
But as they told that it was not purely a hacking case, flaw was not created or discovered by the remote access to the system.
They told that even a usual security patch which microsoft releases every second tuesday of every month is sufficient for this kind of problem for the older windows system which are affected by this flaw too.
For the better security this time Microsoft also redesigned its flagship operating system for the purpose of reduction of exposure of users to destructive programs on the internet.
Some security reserchers claims that Vista is such a complex product which can never be free from errors, they further adds Microsoft had to wait for them(flaws) , certainly security vulnerability will appear.
