Windows Vista vs. Windows XP SP2 Security

Posted Jun 20, 2007 by Jason Faulkner  

Whether you have installed Windows Vista or not, you probably already know there are differences between it and Windows XP (naturally). Many of these differences deal directly with security in an effort to make Vista more secure than XP SP2.

For todays tip, I want to point you to a good blog article on Microsoft Technet dealing with percieved differences vs. actual differences. Don’t let the source fool you, as this article is not biased. In fact the article merely references and highlights excerpts from 2 other articles written on the subject, one which points out flaws in Vista as compared to XP SP2 and the other which addresses what the first article points out.

If you are at all concerned or interested in Vista security, this really is worth your read.
