Microsoft has added the random-number generator Dual_EC-DRBG to Windows Vista, as part of SP1. Yes, this is the same RNG that could have an NSA backdoor.http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/12/dual_ec_drbg_ad.htmlIt's not enabled by default, and my advice is to never enable it. Ever.
EDITED TO ADD (12/18): I should make this clear that the algorithm is available as a program call. It is not something that the user can enable or disable.
