Malware writers appear to be much further along in developing malware for Vista than the security industry is in making products to protect the new operating system. Speaking exclusively to IT PRO, Tim Eades, senior vice-president of sales at security company Sana Security said that 38 per cent of malware is already Vista-compatible. "Malware writers have gone through the WHQL list to make sure that their code works on new machines," he said. "They have managed to port code to Vista quicker than the security industry."

What the hell are the security companies doing? I mean, if you've got hackware being pushed out and compatible with Vista before the security software, it speaks volumes to me about the laziness of these companies in regards to testing and making sure their products are delivered ontime when Windows Vista is released.
