RE: Vista doesn't fail, users do...

While I tend to agree that will be the problem most of the time, and especially in this case, I have a Vista laptop I use almost more than my desktop, and I don't have any antivirus or some crap on it because I generally know what I'm doing, so yeah a huge pad on the back to myself, but all this being said, Microsoft should definitely always be pressed on security because it won't always be the users fault, and that the user could just be careful is a bad excuse for phoning it in, not that I feel MS is doing that, but I'm convinced they would if they didn't have this pressure.

This test was done as a user would do, not as Vista would do. Vista would have done just fine under this test, but UAC ws turned off, and user interact was required for those that failed to fail.

Bottom line, learn to surf safely. Period.

Software fails in Vista?

Software fails in Vista? OMG! It can't be! I suppose this means the the sun provides day light, and rain is made of water then. Who would've thought?
