"This is the year... The year that Microsoft releases the newest version of Windows. We are targeting to make Windows Vista generally available in the second half of this year, and the exact delivery date will ultimately be determined by the quality of the product. So what is so compelling that our customers would want to spend money upgrading to the Vista operating system? Let's take a quick look at all that Vista offers a small business."

Yeah, we'll see how well they did when it actually comes to market. Until then, my assertion is just as valid as yours is. Going on past history, I'm not expecting great things from Vista on the security end, regardless of what MS's PR people put out. Right now, their security enhancements mean nothing because it hasn't been tested.

"When MS bought that AV company, they pretty much admitted that they don't care about making a secure OS and now they want consumers to pay more for the basic level of security they should already be getting"
Oh, and all the security enhancements in Vista mean nothing? They've brought the whole OS up to similar standards as other OS's, with least priveleged accounts, unneeded services turned off by default, and moving various subsystems into userland. Doesn't seem like your assertion is correct in the least
