Christmas Shopping: Vista Over XP?
Federico Biancuzzi, 2006-12-05

Microsoft has announced Vista's release dates. From a security standpoint what choice should consumers take during this Christmas shopping season? Most will be faced with Windows XP only or Windows XP with Microsoft's Express Upgrade option to Vista. Federico Biancuzzi interviewed a wide range of security researchers and anti-virus folks to get some consensus on the security of Vista over Windows XP for consumers, with some advice for corporate users as well.

This question is completely irrelevant. Everybody expects Vista to provide better security than XP once properly developed and released, but people don't realistically have the choice of Vista for the holidays.

Good job SecurityFocus, you've managed to ask yet another question that nobody cares about.
