News Microsoft report shows better security

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/10/30/microsoft_report_shows_better_security/1

Microsoft’s security report is in and it shows a decrease in vulnerabilities and removed malware in newer versions of software. I should hope so too!

 

Way to state the bleeding obvious M$ but word it in such a way as to make it sound like your doing a good job. Though I do have to concede that XPSP2 was a good platform.

 

lol. Nothing boosts the morale more than a little back-patting once in a while.

 

So wait we're slating M$ now for doing their job? Jesus, Gates really cant win whilst no matter how much apple screw up atm every just glosses over it.

Can we please have some form of consistency from the computing world. If a company gets better praise them, even if they were really bad to begin with. If some godly company screws up jump down their throats, that way everyone gets the same treatment and get lynched as much as they should.

 

Relax, man. It's cool! We were merely making light of the fact that they were doing their jobs correctly this time around, is all.

 

less infection in Vista for me, rather than in XP. but only time will tell

 

Congratulation Microsoft, you have just won a copy of Windows Vista basic upgrade, 32-bit!
Sorry...

 

"more third-party software coded by enthusiasts could have higher vulnerable to malicious code".... shouldn't it be "more third-party software coded by enthusiasts could have higher vulnerablilities to malicious code"?

 

and consider that the user base of vista is currently small to malware makers to concentrate on it.....

 

Sorry, its been a bad week and the negativity surrounding M$ even though they're trying to get better (unlike some companies) is doing my head in.

 

I'd say it's obvious Vista is the cause, a year without any large vulnerabilities whatsoever.
