yakumo.unr writes: Computerworld has a follow up from Microsoft to the Loophole in Windows Random Number Generator covered on slashdot last week.
"Microsoft responded to further questions and acknowledged that Windows XP is vulnerable to the complex attack that Pinkas, Gutterman and Dorrendorf laid out in their paper"
"Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and the not-yet-released Windows Server 2008, however, apparently use a modified or different random number generator; Microsoft said they were immune to the attack strategy."
