Page summary or clip

Microsoft launched its latest operating system - Windows Vista - on Monday, a move that will make finding easily exploitable vulnerabilities a lot harder, according to security researchers. In a launch event in New York City, the software giant took the wraps off both Windows Vista and its Office 2007 productivity suite. Long awaited, Windows Vista brings together a number of security features, some aimed at hardening the operating system against attack and others designed to encourage users to make security a priority when using their PCs.

For the first time with Vista Microsoft has engaged its customers en masse in a large scale preview (aka beta testing) program. Hopefully this has been GOOD for Vista stability and security, and it's going to be interesting to see how much benefit has been provided.
