Microsoft discovers a new way to secure Vista
Microsoft uses a security feature that is also used in the open-source world to harden Windows Vista against buffer overrun exploits.
The feature that the company uses is called ALSR (Address Space Layout Randomization). ASLR is part of a larger plan to make it more difficult to automate attacks against the operating system.
Microsoft already included the feature in the beta 2 version of Vista.
