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."

Right an API that does not let the security product have access to some of the areas of the OS that the bad guys can get to. Typical!
This is typical, as fast as MS makes products, hackers, crackers and the like, kill Windows before it even gets off the starting block!
