Flaws are detected in Microsoft's Vista

Interesting article in NY Times for 12/25/2006.
See:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/25/te...gewanted=print

This underlines the fact that Vista is a huge, highly complex, unwieldy
operating system that is likely to have many security problems. Also,
Microsoft has a dismal reputation regarding software security.
The best advice still is to use a quality hardware firewall and software
protection from ZoneAlarm or a similar program. It is also wise to use
an Internet browser other than Internet Explorer.
