Vista, not improving security?
Friday, September 1st, 2006
Daley tells me his company has a dozen install issues, but they’re somebody else’s problem. On the 
other hand, he has just found one command (out of 140) that crashes in Vista but not in XP. He isn’t surprised. "I don’t think you can expect apps written a year ago to support new [operating system] changes," he says.
Daley is being kind. Call me old-fashioned, but surely managing and supporting backward compatibility should be a foundational design issue for the next generation of the dominant PC operating system. No?
What’s really interesting is that he notes that with Vista, running as administrator solves a lot of application problems, as does turning off user account control. Vista, not improving security? - Network World
