MS Security Guy Wants Vista Bugs Rated Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the grass-is-greener-on-his-side dept.

jcatcw writes "Gregg Keizer reports that Michael Howard, an MS senior security program manager, says that the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) is being too conservative in its Vista vulnerability rating plans. Microsoft's own bug hunters should cut Windows Vista some slack and rate its vulnerabilities differently because of the operating system's new, baked-in defenses."

    Wow, you really do work for Microsoft! With typical Microsoft doublespeak, you just said Vista is really great, a major improvement in every area. It's beautiful, (as long as you don't actually try to use it.)
