I am guessing vista will be the easiest of the 3 to hack.
I'll say that OS X will be the first to fall again, and once again Apple will refuse to accept that it was owned, just like last year.

 Bragging rights to Blake.

This one is pretty bad though. It is pretty normal websurfing and/or email-reading behavior and even though people really should know better than click on links they aren't sure of, how many OS X users have been brainwashed into thinking they can't get infected or 'owned' so they are not really on guard as they should be?

I would call this a pretty serious "hack" since it really doesn't require anything but a plain vanilla OS X installation and normal surfing behavior.

Poway, CA		 I am curious as to whether OS X asked for the user's password before executing the hack.
