Vista is secure ??????

That's funny because I found it boring, uninformed and hackneyed.

Sorry Paul mate, not a dig at you at all, I appreciate as much as the next man you taking the time out to give us relevant sources of info without us having to search, but I am just so underwhelmed by the incessant M$ bashing that goes on. I mean really... what is earth shattering in the report? That Vista wont be as secure as some obscure, almost unusable systems that are developed, maintained and used almost exclusively by the same people that try to hack M$ products anyway? I mean if people put the time and effort they do into cracking Windows products but into QSX or AS/400 or something then I'm sure they'd take it down in minutes. The source code is available to the world FFS.

I know as British folks we always fight for the underdog, but it's pathetic that people always pick on M$. They make quite brilliant products (albeit often backed up by flimsy ideology) that make the world function better. I understand Windows more than 99.5% of users and I can say it is a good product, and I'm sure Vista will be too. I can sit here all day and pick holes in Apple, Linux, AS/400 Unix etc but who can really be bothered? If there were a worthy challenger then maybe that could be a good battle.

For the record Mr. Ward, M$ bashing is old and boring and it doesn't make you sound any smarter at all.
