Microsoft are engaging with hackers who can help to make their system safer.... since Vista is to be launched shortly is it not a little too late and will it be any different from XP..?

And they threw the hackers a party...!

Looks like someone is really desperate ... 
Actually, I think they are already pretty secure with error messages like this one:
| Quote: | | Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes. |
It's a real error message, BTW - see this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276304/en-us
