Microsoft needs to make Internet Explorer 7 run in "Protected Mode" in Vista's "Full Priveledged Administrator Account." It's really stupid that it doesn't. Just like it was stupid to purposely leave a bug in Internet Explorer that purposely affected Mozilla Firefox users , so people would use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. Sorry Microsoft , but Firefox is superior to any version of Internet Explorer , so is Opera . All computer magazine's agree with me on this .

Hey Vista team, I read on this blog this: This feature displays the time of the last successful interactive logon, and the number of failed logon attempts since the last successful logon, during a successful interactive logon. This will enable a user to determine if the account was used without his or her knowledge. I tried searching the net but couldn't find more info. Can you write a blog post giving more information on this?

Can we have the security statistics based on Viusta Sp1?

Dear Austin, Will Registry and File Virtualization still be in Windows 7, (or the next version of Windows anyway)?

I sure hope NOT! Yes keep UAC but need to force developers like me to use elevation via manifests or launce of a COM process.

I would rather have my application 'break' than to learn months later that my writes to HKLM are going into a virtual registry key.

Don't you agree?

Enjoyed your video on UAC. Btw.

Cheers,

Of course, some people will agree with this - but I can assure you that there are still plenty of IE7 supporters. I use both FF and IE, and there are large pros and cons for both. The only reason I'd pick FF3 over IE7 at the moment is if I needed some of the plugins.

Note that many many more companies and individuals were using XP than were using Vista in June-December 2007, either because they haven't bought a new computer recently, haven't purchased an upgrade, or were avoiding it because of known problems with Vista.

Vista just FORCED a reboot.

I am astonished at how bad MS are.

I am apoplectic at what you think it's acceptable to do to your users.

People use MS OS for critical things and you do that.

People will die because of a 'feature' like this and you should be looking very carefully at the corporate manslaughter laws that there are around the world.

I, like most people, am straining at the bit for a realistic alternative to MS OS and will jump on it when it arrives and then will just have to concentrate on trying to expunge all the traumatic experiences from my memory.

I'm not sure that the numbers given provide a convincing argument for the security of Vista against malware. Since the vast majority of people are running Windows XP, it simply makes sense that there was more malware cleaned from XP machines simply because more XP machines were scanned!

No mention is made of the raw number of machines of each type that were scanned so in the absence of any additional information it seems to me that the claim that Vista is more resistant to malware than XP or Windows 2000 is unfounded based upon the comparison of these percentages.

"MSRT found and cleaned malware from 60.5% fewer Windows Vista-based computers than from computers running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. How about Windows 2000? Using proportionate numbers, MSRT found and cleaned malware from 44% fewer Windows Vista-based computers than Windows 2000 SP4 computers and 77% fewer than from computers running Windows 2000 SP3."

3rd party solutions offer much better security in my opinion.

Keeping it running sufficiently.

When I first got my computer I didn’t realize how important having antispyware was to keeping it running sufficiently. However, it didn’t take very long for it to become perfectly clear. If you don’t have a good scan you will have many problems that could be avoided so easily. Search-and-destroyAntispyware is a great option when it comes to scanning for bugs that will help you keep your computer running at its peak efficiency. The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroywhich you will find at Search-and-destroy/antispyware.html will help give your PC the protection it needs to keep it in good working condition.

Vista have less problems but is to glossy than XP. I am staying away from Vista because is causing me problems. XP is more clear than Vista as OS.
