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.

Dont you ever install or buy Vista machines, folks! Never...

You can find several sites over the net with several "underground" reviews about the system, and it sucks!

Its simply a very bad developed copy of some OS like OSX and Linux, but it sucks anyway!

Microsoft is not focused in the costumer security, but on its own security, and the security and profit of many "monopolist"organizations".

Many people that are not "inside" IT will be arrested and things like that, just, for example, by downloading a simple mp3 file!

And theres more! After several years of developing that system, they "new" features are not enough, and if you analise it more carefuly, they arent even new! They are simple badly develop copy's...

Microsoft never develop good software, but with vista, they are digging there own grave...

This article (http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=review-winvista) is just one of the inumerous articles that really digg into vista "new tricks"!

if they dont wise up, they wont last another 10 years!

Props!
