Vista is Most Secure OS: I Can’t Stop Laughing…
Posted on January 30th, 2008 at 8:23 amSetting the Stage
Microsoft has released a self-analysis of Vista that proclaims among other things that Vista has less found vulnerabilities than any other OS in their first year. Written by a member of their Trustworthy Computing group, this report exhibits more spin than the teacup ride at Disney Land.
It’s an interesting way to get a favorable number — to say that the code base is brand new, thereby resetting all the expectations. Wrong way, guys, newer code always has more bugs in it, you just counteracted the whole point. Never mind the fact that Vista’s feature set could arguably (and kindly) be called XP Service Pack 4, and totally ignoring the fact that it took 5 years to come up with and release this new set of code/features/functionality.
