More Headaches from Vista Security

Michael Cooney writes to tell us Windows Vista may have some serious headaches in store for corporate users with third-party authentication systems like VPNs. From the article: "ISVs say rewriting their code for the new architecture will produce headaches that will extend to their customers that have deployed strong authentication such as biometrics or tokens, enterprise single sign-on and a number of other systems integrated with the Windows authentication architecture."

Re:Good!

Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago we were lamenting "what could have been"?

See, the real problem with Vista is not whehter it has flaws or not. The real problem is that it keeps being Microsoft.

Remember how IE5 was the best internet browser "ever"? It was fast, it was stable! The old Netscape couldn't even compare to it! But when it dominated the market, well, you know what happened.

I really don't know if Vista will be the best OS ever. What I know is that people will be forced to use it, and that new Microsoft apps will require Vista features to work properly.

It's all about Microsoft. The name's just burnt out, it has nearly zero credibility right now.

Rewrite?

but the company will have to rewrite its GINA code

So the Vista version will be called MS V-GINA? Does this smell fishy or what...
