  One year later: Did Vista's focus on security pay off?
Time: 00:19 EST/05:19 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft's emphasis on improvements to security features in Windows Vista may have undermined business adoption of the OS as many business and enterprise customers are still holding off on upgrading to the OS nearly a year after its release to them.

Microsoft spent a good deal of time and money to ensure Vista's security after Windows XP and applications running on it proved susceptible to devastating worms like Blaster, Slammer, and MyDoom. Though Microsoft released Windows XP Service Pack 2 to remedy some vulnerabilities, the company decided that security would be a top priority for the next major Windows release, said George Stathakopoulos, general manager of Microsoft’s Response and Product Centers.

"The security part of Vista was talked about a lot because it was a primary concern all over the world," he said.
