Ars barrier CRN test reports that Vista is much more secure than XP

A report from the Technical website Ars Technica refuted the same view of Windows XP security as that of the new operating system Vista.

According to theinquirer website reports, two days ago, CRN website testers found that Vista is full of security vulnerabilities, the security is only

Earlier versions of Windows XP were less suitable.

In this regard, Ars Technica said that the CRN report is unfair, especially when it is tested, there is no anti-virus software.

"To blame Vista, which lacks anti-virus software, for not blocking viruses, is like to blame a unlocked door handle. In any enterprise, if Vista (or XP) is deployed without a antivirus solution, it will be crazy ."

According to the report, Vista's Windows Defender and User Account Control should be mainly used to prevent a wide variety of malware, it is not used to prevent viruses.

Ars Technica's own test showed that although Vista would also let go of some malware, it would at least immediately notify users of exceptions and let them stop it.

The report pointed out that Vista effectively solved the buffer overflow vulnerability, but CRN skipped this issue.
