A lot of recent ones concern the just released 7.04 which, just like
anything else, has a few minor bugs - I expect they'll be pretty well
worked out in a week or so. But there aren't many about having the system
hacked - it just doesn't happen.

And it also applies to all of the Linux distros. Nothing to gain from hacking it. And I guess that NoStop knows this also.

The answer is a bit more involved than what your simple statement would
indicate. A target (large or small) sufficiently designed against attack
and intrusion has an upper hand over a target (large or small) that is
not so designed. http://librenix.com/?inode=21
Attack and intrusion are not impossible, but the odds of wide disruption
are slim, and probably will remain so. But believe what you will.

That was a set demo with no explanations. Was UAC turned on? Had any other
security features in Vista been changed from the defaults? What was the
exploit? The two error messages that came up when the exploit was shown were
conveniently out of focus.
I'm not saying Vista can't be hacked. I am saying that demo looked a little
too easy. If it was true there would be many compromised Vista zombies which
there aren't. I have done quite a bit of testing of the current exploits on
default installs of Vista. So far all I've seen is a system crash and a lot
of UAC prompts. The best/worst crashed the system forcing a hard reset.

Take a close look at that video. The computers are side by side and direct
connected. And it seems strange that the password is ``password cat12``
typed in on the hackers computer. Looks like a setup to me.
Linux users seem to think that it is a impenetrable fortress, I have seen
posts telling Linux noobs they don`t need any security software. Kind of
scary.

Minor? I downloaded and burned this version TWICE:
Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM,
AthlonTM, SempronTM)
Each attempt to install on a Pentium 4 gives me an error after selecting
install telling me to get the 32bit version as my machine doesn't support
"long".
Minor my rear end! Just like everything else when it's new, it has major
problems that need to be fixed.
What is it I'm supposed to say......oh yeah, typical linux community
requires all the end users to BETA TEST their software. Hehehehe.

One demo is nothing more then a rumor. Unless this can reproduced, its
nothing to talk about.
