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, although Microsoft Vista will be alot more enhanced with both security and graphics. Microsoft Windows XP will continue to be the most pre-dominant OS until late into 2007 or mid 2008. I've said this for many years now. Vista's release will generate a small output of generation to the public. Most users who acquire it, will be users who have gotten new machines. However, old Windows XP users wouldn't be so keen. Not in the first few months.
