The cracks that script kiddies exploit exist in all systems. It's just that MS forgot to read the security advisories when developing software. If so they would have never had a problem.

Also, NT could have probably been ultra secure. It's designer had experience with VMS. Talk about a friggin secure system. But in order to be secure, it would have broken everything.
