It’s the most anticipated matchup in the hacker world: Linux versus Mac OS X versus Vista. Who will get hacked first?

That’s what organizers of the CanSecWest security conference hope to discover this week as they give show attendees a shot at hacking into the three laptops they’ve put on display here in Vancouver.

The catch? They have to use a brand-new ‘zero day’ attack that nobody has seen before. The prize? US$20,000, plus you get to keep the laptop.
