YOu said "They did good job with Win2K/XP, so security is just another step"...

They did? Please don't insult our intelligence.

Within a very short time, they discovered a fatal flaw in their "Plug-n-play" thingie. Need I say more.

IMHO they need to take that 100 mil, and start up a whole fresh development team, with a few hackers on the team, and do a complete re-write from the hardware to the GUI.

The OS should be written so solid that no matter how sloppy the Application programmer gets, it STILL won't allow them to exploit the OS.

They should take some lessons from Apple on this. I don't even remember when the last major fatal flaw in the Mac OS was found. I'm NOT talking about OS-X.

IMHO a very good pro-active firwall, and a properly IDS system is always in order.
