Why Aren't You Upgrading to Vista? : Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech

Link: Why Aren't You Upgrading to Vista? : Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech. Christopher Null lists the reasons why Vista isn't worth the upgrade, most of which I have posted about before. However, perhaps the most important is that Vista isn't really any different than XP in its security, or lack thereof. It already needs a patch, and I don't know anyone who has bought it yet, unless it came with a new computer. Worse, it sends a really annoying "Windows Needs Your Permission to Use this program" message everytime the user tries to load, run or otherwise use the computer. Once you turn off the annoying reminder, how is Vista any more secure than XP? Rather that lock the door to everyone, and require the user to open the door whenever a task must be performed, Microsoft should think more about teaching the software the difference between something the user initiates, and something a bad third-part is trying to do to the system.
