how safe are your windows

Check out this article on Fox News. I can’t believe that this Romanian politician actually said piracy was a good thing!!! Can you imagine if Cheney said this to that Prime Minister guy from England about some British computer company (are there any??) and what a furore there would be! He basically said that piracy is a good thing for third world countries because there young people can learn about computers by being pirates! He even had the gaul to thank Bill Gates for making Microsoft product so easy for the hackers to copy and make fakes. This makes me worried about the new software they released. Is Windows Vista safe?? Could the Windows on your PC be left open for hackers to come in through and take over your computer and email everyone spam??? I am sure that they checked it before they released it but then when some politician says thank you for making unsafe products I begin to wonder what to believe!
Anways, I am going to wait on getting Windows Vista coz some people at my work are still using Windows Millennium, which was supposed to fix the Y2K bug (don’t even get me started on that!!) but it just made there PCs worse than before although they didn’t get fried at the Millennium when it was midnight so I suppose that was something to be pleased about. They are scared to upgrade to Windows XP and so I figure switching to Vista has got to be worse as it is even newer and it might not have the Y2K bug but it could have other things in it that hackers could use and I don’t want my computer used by hackers like my old boss’s was until the CIA told him that there were hackers in it sending them spam. After that he switched it off at night and unplugged it just in case.
