Windows "Microsoft has gone out on a limb to promote Vista not merely as 'the most secure version of Windows ever' (every recent version is marketed with that tired slogan), but for the first time as an adequately secure version of Windows. 'We've got the message and we've done our homework', the company says. So let's see if the reality lives up to the marketing hype."

I think that's the first time I've agreed with an Article from TheRegister.

I've been using Vista since it got released to Corporate customers and businesses, I do agree that the new security features are more flashy than actual use.

The first thing people do is turn off UAC, and the Security Center Alerts not long after that.

Only time will tell if Vista turns out to be more secure, or if it just opens up an entire new wave of attacks.
