NYCPHP Meetup

[Peter Sawczynec]

I just wanted to clarify that this topic I introduced to this list was not to act as a poli/techno endorsement of MSFT or their products. 

Me, I know I will come across Vista with clients in the near term future. I like to be ahead of the curve on every tech topic I can when I sit at the conference table with clients. And having hands on usability experience with Vista ahead of my clients was strategically important to me. 

So since I had already gone and set part of my own house on fire, I figured I'd just throw a little breadcrumb trail out there from behind the curtain of flames for the other few who just might have to do as I did. 

I did not want to introduce tech evaluations of one product vs another product. 

What do they say: 
Know thy enemy. 
Keep your enemies closer than your friends. 
Know the con to avoid the con.

I may be missing it, but I don't see anything there that makes me feel
warm and fuzzy about Vista.

Sure there were fewer overall vulnerabilities found over the reported
period, but look at the number of high priority vulnerabilities found,
12 for windows vs 2 for redhat and 1 for osx...

The source for this 'report'? "Jeff Jones, security strategy director in
Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing group"
