Not as bad as before

"While I know this is a vulnerability that impacts Windows Vista, I still have every confidence that Windows Vista is our most secure platform to date..."

That's not saying much.

Look, there are vulnerabilities in ever OS. People freaking out about one vulnerability is retarded.

If it were just one vulnerability and not six then perhaps. ^

When you steal from OS X, steal the whole thing including it's security, not just tidbits and ideas.

I'm a mac guy :\ I prefer mac over windows any day but I will just say that people complaining about vulnerabilities in a beta release of a product is stupid.

Is OS X really that much more secure?? Or is it the fact that no one really cares about OS X? Windows is on more machines.

Take your Mac fanboy attitude elsewhere.

Mac practices security through obscurity. Nothing less, nothing more.

BZZZT ! Wrong. Please at least know what you are talking about before posting. Mac OS X is a Unix-like OS and there is nothing obscure about it.

Uh, lets not forget where OS X came from Mac lovers. Mac didn't' do shit for security, they inherited a good model from BSD.

Microsoft may have bought ideas but for the most part their work is theirs and theirs alone. Given that they rule the enterprise and consumer market even with several variants of Linux, BSDs and Macs around, give them some credit.

The biggest thing Microsoft has going for them, as with most big (and more or less success full) is business practices. They've been bullies at times but that's what you get when your king of the hill.

I'm sorry but Bill Gates isn't a cult leader like Jobs. Jobs is a nutcase.

It will be a long while before Microsoft looses a significant amount of market share. Their products are too damn good. Granted they did release crap like Windows Millennium Edition but the 2007 versions of Office, Windows XP are all excellent releases.

No I don't give Bill head, but I do give credit where it's due. I buy my software and want to like what I get for the money and I think besides the games I buy, and iTunes for music, MS has everything I need in one or two purchases.

For a while I was huge into Unix'ish operating systems. Now my preference is NetBSD vs. Linux. I see extreme value and performance in the web server market for those platforms and that's where MS has to catch up. Right now their market is for Windows enterprises where everything is Windows instead of mixed, but who knows how that will evolve.
