Well... they wouldn't want vista to put them out of business would they? haha, well lets hear the other side of the story as it probably has a lot of truth to it knowing MS.
Anti-virus firms at Infosec say they expect Vista and IE7 to change nothing for the industry. Microsoft used its presence at the show to laud the security features they've been busy building in the the upcoming software.
In particular, Microsoft was eager to talk about how Vista will finally jettison the need to run Windows as an administrator most of the time.
There is an article on TheRegister.com about this...
Quote:
John Kay, Chief Technical Officer at Blackspider reckons on a "bug per line of code". With the traditionally Heath-Robinsonian construction of MS browsers he's not hopeful for IE7. He said: "I dread to think how many lines of code there are in there."
Of the overall security outlook, Kay added: "My wife and kids are going to continue to be subjected to all the threats out there [with the switch to Vista]. If you think about it, that's just crap."
Nobody suggested it's all Microsoft's fault though. Its status as target number one and AV firms keeness to trumpet their wares over others', releasing details of the heuristics, puts the power in the hands of spammers and their virus-writing chums
