I use XP and haven't had a shred of spyware in over 4 years. I use no tools and no "blockers".

This is a straight-up hit piece.

according to the results of a study by Webroot, a leading antispyware vendor and Microsoft competitor.

This is somehow thread worthy? Looks more like a waste of bandwidth that could otherwise be used for discussing the war in Iraq, which I was attentively reading till I saw this waste of space. If you want to stop spyware turn off 3rd party cookies, you don't need them and that zaps 99+% of it for most users.

The company also noted that Vista was "the most secure version of Windows to date"

Setting the bar fairly low eh?

I thought Vista WAS spyware.

"to make the user’s computing experience a safer one."

Specifically, 16 percent safer.
