As valid as the criticisms might be, the fact that a brand new operating system exhibits a previously unknown set of security issue, is hardly surprising . . . . just an interesting read, that's all . . . . . . :groan: . techworld . com/security/news/index . cfm?newsid=6479" target="_blank">www . techworld . com |

If however there are FEW vulnerabilities, (yeah, right . . . ) then their business model might be under threat . |

| 472249 | 2006-07-20 04:39:00 | Ever noticed how quickly Symantic report on a new virus in the wild? Also they are one of the first with a fix, usually within hours. Makes you think what these guys do in their spare time :lol: Oh well it will be interesting to see how much Symantic's virus scanner slows down Vista. If it's anything like it is on XP, then watch out. Each to their own I suppose. :2cents: | intel hunter (6666) | ||
