Microsoft is a much better company than many give them credit for. They are much much more security conscious than others and better for consumers/business.

I think Google has taken their role as the jerk of the IT world.

At the time, hacking was a growing problem and, Paget joked, “I was a different gender.” Paget did not have a final count of how many bugs were fixed, but she was impressed with the overall qualitative experience.

MS tested an OS before it was released? This is indeed good news!

Vista’s successor, Windows 7 x64, is hard-core when it comes to security. For example, all x64 device drivers must be digitally signed with a Class 3 VeriSign Authenticode Certificate to load. Mandatory Integrity levels are enforced everywhere: all code runs in separate sandboxes based on the security level (Low, Medium, High, System). This is similar to TCB Orange Book used by the military for mandatory security levels (Unclassified, Secret, Top Secret, etc). Files in the TCB are owned by TrustedInstaller and cannot be modified even by super-users (Administrators).

I’m a professional software developer who writes multiplatform apps. In my opinion Windows 7 x64 is probably the most secure mainstream OS on the market right now. It is definitely ahead of Linux/Android at this point in time.
