"Way back in November 2006, when Windows Vista went from beta to RTM, Microsoft's Jim Allchin suggested that users might not need an antivirus program, thanks to the new OS's stronger security features. While the statement was subsequently clarified until it lost all its meaning, the question remains: Do Vista users really need an antivirus program running in the background at all times?"

He simply had a graph and spoke briefly about it (I don't even remember exactly what category of security he was talking about, OS I think) and the graph might be in the book of slides I have from the seminar... the only problem is the book is 500 pages and I am a lazy fat bastard (to quote Howie Carr).
