1. Comment - Allchin Suggests Vista Won't Need Antivirus

   (Nov 10, 2006 - 3:02 AM)

   Microsoft always hypes its new OS and we all know that they do it. When XP was released it was also touted as being more secure:
   
   In October 2001 it was announced on CNET that
   "Microsoft on Wednesday launched a major security initiative intended to address concerns that its software is prone to security problems and virus attacks."

   It's five years later and XP is still prone to attack.
   
   I feel Vista will be the same. It was ripped to shreds by Hackers at the convention they took it to. Sure, Microsoft fixed those holes, but if hackers can find flaws within such a short space what other holes are there?
   
   Anyway, most security flaws exist between the keyboard and the chair. If somebody is dumb enough to use a Windows environment they're dumb enough to double click that attachment in their email.
   
   Microsoft is notorious for overconfidence. Ignore them, maybe they'll go away.
