Rootkits, Bootkits, Viruses & Windows VISTA

| Microsoft thought about this and developed the Bitocker System but once
| again hell breaks loose, it's only available for high-end Vista
| Versions ( Ultimate and Enterprise), so probably the rest of us are
| left alone to face the attacks. What was Microsoft thinking when it
| cleared the idea that low price version would have security
| features disabled?

If true, this may lead to a serious debate. Microsoft charges more for a more
secure version of its operating system (addons like OneCare aside).

| The restrictions on virtualization were discussed here a couple of
| months ago, but now the more people are waking up to the EULA restrictions.

| MS claims it is "necessary for security reasons" and that only the "most
| technically savvy users, or people in companies with tech support,
| probably could handle Vista in virtualization programs, while home users
| should be steered away."
