Vista 'more secure than OS X and Linux'
Microsoft has boasted in a new study that Windows Vista has needed
fewer
security patches than any other recently released desktop operating
system.
"Windows Vista has an improved security vulnerability profile over its
predecessor and a significantly better profile to comparable modern
competitive operating systems," stated Jeff Jones, director of the
Trustworthy Computing initiative at Microsoft's Security Business Unit.
Ah yes. Very credible study fabricated by a director in the Microsoft
Security Business Unit. How do you spell job security?
Do you have anything other than an ad hominem?
I have a Mac. Never worried about any virus, never installed any
antivirus sw nor thought about it, never had any security breaches,
never worried about any sort of malware on any Macs I've ever owned or
used, that being since 1994. How about you?
VISTA.
Viruses
Infections
Spyware
Trojans
Adware

Care to support this? Vista...out for 7 months and not a *single*
exploit.

There have been a few proof-of-concept exploits for Vista already, and a
number of holes that could have been exploited.

Proof of concept and "a number of holes that could have been
exploited" are not exploits. Care to try again?



That said, not using antivirus sw on any system is just asking for trouble.
