Protecting the enterprise in a Vista environment | |

Microsoft’s new Vista operating system has placed more emphasis on security than any previous version of Windows. It has added features like the Security Centre, which monitors the operating system’s multiple layers of security in the background, user account control, a built-in firewall, kernel patch protection and even a kernel security component requiring that any driver running at kernel level by tested and digitally signed by Microsoft. These Vista security enhancements may have raised the bar, but at what cost? The security aspects of the operating system have been improved at the price of complexity and in some respects changed for the sake of change - causing what is known as “code bloat.” Simply, there are just too many lines of code! | ||

"Hence in the authors opinion one has to question any decision to migrate to an operating system that even prior to full public release has already been deemed to be unsustainable and that may quickly itself be obsolete as it is will be forced to go through yet another significant change in the form of virtualisation as early as perhaps 2008 or 2009."
Huh? Won't XP be obsolete long before Vista becomes obsolete? Virtualization will make Vista obsolete? The logic appears faulty. All this bitching about Windows Vista is the price MS is paying for taking almost six years between major Windows releases. XP is like a well worn pair of slippers that you can't quite replace, but know you should. As always, when SP1 is released the move into business will accelerate. |
