Security Management White Papers

Last Minute Changes to Windows Vista

Overview The big news is that Microsoft is making some pretty serious changes to Windows Vista in a bid to meet its antitrust requirements in the European Union (EU) and South Korea and, to a lesser degree, to answer recent criticisms about Vista security features. For the average Windows Vista users, these changes won't really impact day-to-day use of the operating system. But if they quell complaints from antitrust regulators and competitors, the author is all for it. The only question, of course, is whether these changes do go far enough. Will the changes be enough? Only time can tell.
