Microsoft claims success with Vista security
Microsoft has claimed in its fifth Security Intelligence Report that Windows Vista is giving hackers a much harder time.
Using data collected from computers worldwide, the company found that when it comes to browser attacks - the most common type - only six per cent targeted the Vista operating system, compared to 42 per cent with Windows XP.
"We have seen significant improvements in Vista with vulnerabilities," Bret Arsenault, general manager of the National Security Team at Microsoft, told vnunet.com. "We are seeing very good improvements with the newer software. These results show just how good it is, particularly as the data has been normalised between the two operating systems in light of the installed base."
