Microsoft boss Bill Gates today launched a new version of the Windows computer operating system, promising it would "take things to a whole new level".
He claimed Windows Vista would revolutionise everything from how we make telephone calls to how we watch television.
But some have already claimed to have exposed problems in the system.
Yes, it didn't take too long did it?
Alex Ionesco, a security researcher in Montreal, has released technical details of a hack he's developed for Windows Vista.
But he has not released source code because he claims to be nervous of violating US law, it has been reported.
Meanwhile, unveiling the consumer version of the successor to Windows XP at the British Library in London, Mr Gates predicted a world where television was personalised and students worked without paper textbooks.
He said: "We're just at the beginning of that. We've just begun to see what we can do."
