Microslop's much touted next-generation Windows Operating System is still not as good as its current XP flagship and is still not secure. Apple can do it; why can't Redmond?

How the heck did M$ manage to do that????
Wow. Making a new networking stack that's *less* stable than the one its replacing is a whole new low. Anyone want to bet that it takes up more resources than its predecessor as well?

Symantec... We make tomorrows bloat-ware available for today's users...
My machine is dog-@ss slow ever since IS installed the latest Symantec on my system...

Still an improvement. The entire network stack will finally be moved out of ring0. (Being in ring0 means the OS is not protected from bugs in your code. Like DOS/Windows3/MaxOS9 was'nt protected from bugs in applications.)
Granted it will take some time to work out the bugs.

Every single one of the issues Symantec identified were fixed in the last beta, before this was even publicized.

I am running a beta right now. Nothing but problems, had an earlier beta and it was much more stable. I doubt it will be ready until after February.

...according to an analysis by security firm Symantec. I would pay more attention if this wasn't released by Symantec.
I've spent more time dicking around with installs and/or upgrades of the SAV products than any other software we run.
Oh, and that's the "corporate" stuff. Good luck to those who run the Norton AV products, especially if you want to get rid of them.

This is that you call FUD.

I'm running the beta Vista and have alot of bugs that make it more frustrating than interesting at this point. The computer is configured for wireless networking and that works OK, but the wireless router drops the connection quite a few times in a hour or so. On another partition on that same hard drive and same configurations with hardware I have XP Home SP2 and it runs as stable as you can expect Windows to be.
Beyond the graphical eye candy it doesn't really appeal to me very much, but it is still only a BETA so the initial release may prove me wrong, but I doubt it knowing Microsoft.

I'm not expecting to run Vista, ever.
Pretty much have decided to either change my OS to another brand or go Mac when I upgrade.
