From Andrew Auernheimer's Diary / irc memories:
Windows is written in pure, self-modifying assembly code. Notice how
you can install 15 gigs of data from a single Windows install DVD,
which can only hold 5 gigs? This is because the code is dynamically
generated to minimize attack vectors. Any attempt to observe the
static files on the disk will change how it looks in runtime. This is
also why Windows needs to be updated so often, so the running code
never looks like it did before.
Does this sound true to you guys? Windows does seem to have updates
that take forever and speed wise it always felt there was something
going on. Whenever I leave my laptop alone, even when it's offline,
indexing off, the computer is always working on stuff and you new know
what it is.
Maybe all applications with Windows compile on runtime for dynamic
binaries, yet through .net's open, user-friendly API are still compatible?
Balmer said he wanted to make Vista and 7 an OS that would not slow
down after usage, but instead speed up. Windows is constantly
reprogramming itself to suit the behavior of it's users and performing
security and performance auditing.
This is likely true - Think about it:
All viruses are just malicious scripts. It's like saying *nix is
insecure because script kiddies compile binaries and bash scripts that
rm /.
No one ever has ever had an attack vector against Windows 7 or Vista.
Please confirm.

Whoever wrote this is on something. All you have to do is look at any
decent security list to see the attack vectors that have been found..:)
