Yes Windows security is generally the easiest to break... a simple example is MSN, it took them 7 versions to finally do more than change your password to hex... even so the decrypter is written into XP
If you wanted help in breaking it, i would be willing to have a go at it. I am currently in the process of learning to crack newer style passwords, applications and protections, by... well many different methods.
