[pchelpers] News:Hackers set sights on Windows Vista

Security experts are warning surfers not to be tempted by 'cracked'
versions of Windows Vista, which are being offered as downloads on some
websites for free. 

The downloads often contain malware rather than the operating system,
which has not yet been officially released, according to security firm
DriveSentry. 

Microsoft recently claimed that it had made Vista 'uncrackable', meaning
that hackers wouldn't be able to distribute it illegally over the
internet or by other means. 

However, it seems some hackers took this assertion to be a challenge,
and they have set about disproving Microsoft.
