Microsoft's Vista AV Fails Certification

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft's much-hyped anti-virus solution, Live OneCare and three other Vista AV products failed to achieve the Virus Bulletin's VB100 certification. The other products are McAfee's VirusScan Enterprise, G DATA's AntiVirusKit 2007, and Norman's VirusControl. All failed to pass a series of tests that are required to display the VB100 badge. 'With the number of delays that we've seen in Vista's release, there's no excuse for security vendors not to have got their products right by now,' said John Hawes, technical consultant at Virus Bulletin."

I am most pissed that I have to order crappier computers from Dell if I want to get Windows XP on them. To get a box without an OS on the HDD I have to buy some P.O.S. My clients need machines really fast sometimes and can't always wait for me to get the parts in and build it myself... and its really frustrating that I can't order them a good machine without Vista on it.

Shouldn't that be illegal?!
