Microsoft senior vice president Bob Muglia opened up TechEd 2006 in Boston Sunday evening by proclaiming that Windows Vista was the most secure operating system in the industry. But a bold statement can only go so far, and much of this week's conference has been spent reinforcing that point.

In case you hadn't noticed, he's a *Microsoft* manager speaking at a *Microsoft* conference. He's essentially a salesman speaking to the already converted. You cant expect him to say that their new product isn't going to be better than the last.

But he's not saying "this is the most secure Windows ever" (like they did with XP). He's saying "its the ost secure OS in the industry". That's not just marketing, that's throwing down the gauntlet.
