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.

You missed the other half of my post, though: there's a universal consensus that Vista is more secure than XP, and so this article is irrelevant to security. Anyone with a major security concern should OBVIOUSLY hold onto the Vista upgrade option.
What's more, the choice of "Vista Over XP?" does not exist at this point in time, so this question is phrased poorly, further diluting its relevance. The only question we really could ask, is... "Is the Vista upgrade worth it?", but nobody asked that question.
This article is utterly worthless in terms of security value.
