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.
It’s not enabled by default, and my advice is to never enable it. Ever.
And the only way to be really sure it is never enabled, even by some stealth upgrade, is to simply not install Vista at all.
