As an aside, he never said that. That's purely media spin twisting his statement that he felt alright letting his son use a locked-down version of Vista w/o a virus scanner.

In a purely semantic sense you are correct. In real world advertising, he said Vista is so secure with its features that it does not need a virus scanner to keep his computer safe.

Do not forget, most if not almost all people do not take the time (if they can even do it) to analyze a statement, they take it at face value. Hence, Vista is so secure that when it is locked down you will not need a virus scanner, even for a kid.
