The password issue I understand and control. It's the "flaw" issue
that worries me - it's under Microsoft's control. That's why I
thought I'd ask here if the user account login was widely known to be
a weak security barrier in Vista - as passwords are known to be for a
number of widely used application programs. Or whether people trust
it.

Thanks.
