"I was somewhat surprised (but pleased) at the level of interest back when I published my Windows Vista - 90 Day Vulnerability Report. It was about the earliest span of time I thought might give us some indicators, and the indicators did look good. Six months is a much more interesting time frame, and gives us the opportunity to see if the early trend indicators are holding up, or if the early signs of progress were a short-term gain."

Ms never learns, they like to make it harder for developers to make firewalls antispyware and things alike so that people rely on their flawed products , when i use windows i like to have basic functionality (load up programs/games/DC/torrent clients) System restore would make any win95 user happy back in the day when crashes were common, seems vista goes back to that when their aim is to be incompatible with most programs.
As for vunerabilities i aint surprised : basic functionality in vista is 1gb no doubt with security holes the other 9 gbs with "security features" are new vunerabilities .
I Turned off system restore/windows file protection , i even removed active desktop in XP witch resulted more security .
But if they learned from the misstakes they would long ago have made a small easy to maintain basic functionality OS where the user would make reboots to a mode where nothing except for what's installed would run.
But then again Steve Baldmer isnt excactly famous for being very smart
