Dear,
The big differences with other windows NTFS version was you need to buy
a third party to manipulate those NTFS partition.
Also it doesn't mean you get always full access.
The way it can be done in above description is very suprising. Surpri-
that MS doesn't verify how their NTFS filesystem can be hacked with
known products at that moment. More suprising it is when it can be
done with one of their own products.
Of course all kind of tools are circulating on the internet. Legal or
illegal.
Of course it isn't very nice when someone is hacking your computer.
Of course in a lot of countries it is making punishable by law.
Of course people makes it sometimes very easy. f.e. easy to guess
user/password, or in worse case a simple note on the computer about
that combination.
More important is: any computer contains in one or other way personal
information and you doesn't like at all that someone is reading that
data without your knowledge or your permission.
We suggest everybody to install some software like f.e. PGP to make
your data nearly unbreakable fot others. Encryption/Decryption can
be done with some of those tools transparantly.
Another suggestion is to keep very very personal data on floppy or CD
and store them on another place.
We agree with Lonkero, that supporting XP can be a hard thing.
Not because normal usage, but because bad security.
Of course it doesn't mean other operating systems are more secure.
Other systems aren't very common at home.
You see the same problems between f.e. Outlook and other mailsystems.
Outlook is the biggest distributor of virus infected files.
greetings.
