| But even if Vista really is secure, it won't make the problem of
| botnets, spam, phishing and denial of service attacks go away overnight,
| because most people, at home and in businesses, won't upgrade their
| machines (and so to Vista) for years.

Windows Vista: It's More Secure, We Promise

| Well, allow me to take a moment to remind everyone of something that
| you might not remember - XP was also touted as being ultra secure.
| Seriously, can anyone honestly look themselves in the mirror and say
| this is the gospel truth? You have got to be kidding me. Similar to
| XP, Microsoft promises to have the most secure Windows version to date
| yet again.
