Summary: Vista 7 has new security flaws in it and Microsoft reveals "largest-ever patch Tuesday"
THE
reality behind Vista 7 includes some harsh facts about insecurities. Vista 7 has had many severe security flaws so far, and it's
not even released yet. See for instance:
This great number of vulnerabilities shatters the Microsoft myth that its operating system's market share (on the desktop) is the cause of all problems. Upon product launch, Vista 7 will be dangerous 'out of the box'.
Slashdot's headline states that
"Microsoft Plans Largest-Ever Patch Tuesday" and the
referenced article makes it clear that Vista 7 is also affected.
Unlucky 13 sets record as biggest-ever patch day, includes first-ever for Windows 7 RTM
[...]
The company will ship a total of 13 updates next week, eight of them pegged "critical," the highest threat ranking in its four-step scoring system, beating the previous record of 12 updates shipped in February 2007 and again in October 2008.
That's another one for the list of Vista 7 security flaws. But it's only the tip of the iceberg. "[G]reat explanation on Microsoft.com of the terrible cost of Windows' susceptibility to viruses,"
writes Glyn Moody, who has just found
this embarrassing page which would be a valuable reference to claims that Windows flaws
cost the economy trillions of dollars.
