Why Microsoft is wrong on Vista security
Tuesday, October 10th, 2006
For decades, and in every Windows operating system prior to Vista, Microsoft has relied on the 
contributions of third-party security vendors to help keep the user safe. These products protected both consumers and corporate users from the ravages of malware such as viruses, spyware, trojans, worms and, most recently, rootkits.
These security products from independent software vendors even help keep people’s computers safe from Microsoft’s own critical software bugs, which notably have been on the increase in recent years.
Regrettably, Microsoft’s own "buffer overflows" and "Internet Explorer exploits" have now become commonplace in today’s lexicon. But again, the security products from the likes of McAfee, Symantec, Check Point Software Technologies, et al, have thankfully been available for people to choose in order to keep their computing experience safe.
