Is Windows Vista Black Hat approved?

Microsoft brought Vista to this year's Black Hat conference, which is a bold move considering their usually nefarious operating system problems in the past. Microsoft proved what they think of Vista's security and capabilities by letting the world's foremost security experts play with and pull it apart, bit by bit. Everyone has accused Microsoft of not caring enough about security, as they continue to have many security holes, but this time the best in the business put Vista through the wringer. During my short stint using Vista, it seemed to be quite secure. Not that I am any kind of Black Hat or anything, but I have done a bit of work in the computer field. From what I could tell the security and access control systems seem to be much better than any previous version, and rightly so. It would be interesting if any Black Hats who attended the conference wouldn't mind sharing their take on Vista. Any takers?
