Just how bad is the first Vista security flaw?
Saturday, December 30th, 2006
Microsoft has publicly acknowledged the discovery of the first Windows Vista security flaw. But just 
how serious is it? Opinions seem to vary widely. The New York Times claims the flaw is serious enough to result in Microsoft "facing an early crisis of confidence in the quality of its Windows Vista operating system." Not surprisingly, Microsoft isn’t portraying things as being quite so dire. Stephen Toulouse, a senior product manager in Microsoft’s security group, said he’s not seeing any wringing of hands in his circles:
"No one will ever get the software right 100% out of the gate. What we’ve done as a company is build in defense in depth capabilities in the products themselves, as well as create good processes internally that prioritize reported vulnerabilities and get them into the update cycle, while also taking the root cause information and changing the way we create the software so we can learn from these situations," Toulouse blogged. ยป Just how bad is the first Vista security flaw? | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com
