Microsoft Says Vista Most Secure OS Ever

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-evar dept.

darryl24 writes "Microsoft senior vice president Bob Muglia opened up TechEd 2006 in Boston Sunday evening by proclaiming that Windows Vista was the most secure operating system in the industry. But a bold statement can only go so far, and much of this week's conference has been spent reinforcing that point. Microsoft also acknowledges that nothing is infallible when it comes to computer security. In turn, the company has employed black hat hackers for what is called a penetration, or pen, test team."

    Microsoft, proficient at shooting themselves in the foot. When Vista comes out and people write another 10000 viruses for it, this claim will backfire in a big way and further hurt Microsoft reputation (or what remains of it).
