Microsoft Working With Security Vendors
mikesd81 writes "The BBC is reporting on Microsoft's U-Turn. They've now given security vendors some of the information they want to make their products work with Microsoft's new operating system, Vista." From the article: "Earlier this month, security firm McAfee took out a full-page advert in the Financial Times to alert readers to its worries about the way Microsoft was handling the release of its new operating system. 'Microsoft seems to envision a world in which one giant company not only controls the systems that drive most computers around the world but also the security that protects those computers from viruses and other online threats,' the advert said. "
MS is destroying my revenue stream by making a more secure OS!
GENERATION 27: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation.
That's funny... Trend Micro had a fully working Anti-virus product during the Beta. They didn't need any special "Kernel Interface Documenation" to make it work. All the information needed was already available, this is about Norton and McAfee whining because THEY couldn't work with MS and wanted special kernel access, not the other way around.
Microsoft's security is gonna do a total 360!
