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.

Gentlemen, my current viewpoint on the matter stsands where it has for many years now, Windows XP is and will continue to be the most pre-dominant OS until late into 2007. Although Vista has new and improved security enhancements and more flexible implementations of other features.
