Security Companies Tussle With MS Security Center
hey0you0guy writes, "The large security firms such as Symantec and McAfee want Microsoft to allow them to replace Microsoft's Windows Security Center. Microsoft is refusing these requests. 'By imposing the Windows Security Center on all Windows users, Microsoft is defining a template through which everybody looks at security,' Bruce McCorkendale, a chief engineer at Symantec, said in an interview. 'How do we trust that Microsoft knows what all the important things about security are to warn users about?' Given Microsoft's past, with vast piles of security flaws and patches, they should at least cooperate with these companies. A dispute still exists over PatchGuard, a security feature that Microsoft says is designed to guard core parts of the 64-bit version of Vista, but which critics say locks out helpful software from security rivals."
Those slippery cocks
Prepare for the Keith World Order
Vista is dead before it even arrives. What would I possibly want it for that I don't already have?
Athiesm is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.
Again I'm off topic though I'd just like to thank kdawson for quality posts today. Good work. :)
I ate your fish.
LOL!! microsoft just keeps getting deeper and deeper with vista.
just switch to linux and be happy - you really don't need windows to do your computing
microsoft can take vista and put it where the sun doesn't shine - I won't touch it with a ten foot pole.
by the way I am running suse linux on a three year video card and doing some outrageous xgl graphics on it and it just keeps getting better and better and I can get it today without upgrading my hardware. why would I switch to vista.
