Windows Vista is supposedly the safest operating system from Microsoft so far and this may very well be true. According to a poll made by PC Tools there are quite a few companies and security experts that are concerned over Vista and its inability to handle harmful code. They simply claim that Microsoft can’t measure up to third-party security companies if you look at how fast and efficiently they handle security risks.
“Other experts and attendees at the RSA Conference, one of the world’s largest security conferences, said Vista’s security system — while promising — could not combat the vast number of threats currently targeting the system.”
The conclusion we can draw from this is that even if Microsoft Vista is a lot safer than Windows XP it will probably be profitable to invest in third-party software for some extra security. But then we should really point out that the poll was among third-party manufacturers, which should mean that there is a certain amount of bias in the answers.
