If you're keeping up with Windows Vista and you're interested in the
security aspects of it, there's a new blog, with an appropriate title,
from Microsoft:
Microsoft has said it has designed Windows Vista to be more secure
than previous operating systems, having learned a lot from its
Trustworthy Computing initiative. Comparing the difference between
Windows XP SP1 and Windows XP SP2, that was definitely a step in the
right direction. Now MS has a whole track devoted to Vista at the
BlackHat conference (days 2
& 3). Given what Microsoft is saying
about Vista, it certainly seems like Microsoft is attempting to walk
the talk. Having played with Vista on a decent laptop I have at work,
I'm annoyed at all the pop-ups whenever I try to work with the
configuration of the system, but then, this isn't something the regular
work user would be doing, so I'm not too displeased. I know there will
be some finetuning of these pop-ups before RTM ships as too many
pop-ups can lead to a fatigue where the user just clicks yes without
thinking about it.
