More secure....than what?........

[garyhope]

ROFL.

I have a bridge in Brookly that's available for a good price.

Vista is "more secure". My doghouse is more secure. Tell me there's more Bill.

Is this an Onion article?

MS Vista, secure? (chokes with laughter)

Wasn't this hacked 'before' release?

I'll stick with Knoppix, thanks.

It's more secure because now they know how long your porno videos are.

And who stars in them, where they were filmed, and who put them on the Internet in the first place.

If you enjoy freedom, boycott Windows Vista.

[Rudder]

Vista is so wonderful that when my current PC craps out I'm getting a Mac.

Hackers will break the code in six months and eliminate Microsoft's carefully wrought DRM licensing scheme in half that time. Secure, indeed.

More secure for the music (exploitation of artists) industry.

Less secure for the poor sucker who bought the op-sys for hard cash only to have it lock him out of resources he paid for, because of some imagined DRM threat.

It'll be secure from everybody but Microsoft. This thing is going to be incredibly invasive, there's been several threads here recently talking about just what the EULA for Vista lets Microsoft do. That's up to and including having the OS delete what *IT* considers to be "malicious" programs off your computer. It also has the "phone-home" XP-style validation that you have to do if you make major changes to your PC's components.

If I didn't need Windows for a few games, and IE for one particular web app that I run from home occasionally, I'd go Linux in a heartbeat. Vista's going to be buggy, bloated, invasive, and massively overpriced--$200 for a single operating system license for a home PC that only costs around $1000?

Which, if true, is really really pathetic.

Windows Vista is "dramatically more secure than any other operating system that we have released"

Fixed.

VISTA CAPABLE

BULL$#|T!

I've always liked the Microsoft languages and they once had a great flight simulator (possibly still do), but their op-systems, starting with the original MS-DOS (almost entirely ripped off from Gary Killdal's CP/M....they made no effort to hide it) they just continue to get worse with each release.

[Marine_Uncle]

MSDOS with a few more wrinkles in the GUI layer interfaces.

[DalcoTX]

I am sure I am not the only one that can envision a scenario where flaws in XP/2000 are released and exploited in order to sell more copies of Vista.

"Vista is 'more secure' says Gates"

My 8-year-old used car is 'more new' than my 9-year-old used car.
