Vista - security and architecture compromised
We know that everyone is waiting patiently for Vista SP1 which is still in beta. Organizations are also waiting for SP1 because they don’t trust the security of Vista which is completely different from the previous version and secondly there are lots of driver conflicts resulting in upgrading the hardware which is costly also. But the main attention is still on security aspect of the vista. How secure it is after all?
This guy on his blog has shown in a video that Vista’s architecture is not that strong as it is said (by the manufacturer of cource). infact if you see the video you will be surprised that how come a small programme act against the Vista architecture.
I think after seeing this video originations will be more cautious to migrate their systems to Vista and will probably give more favour in terms of deployment to XP though the support to XP is near to an end.
