Same old stories from when XP was released!

"Oh noes it uses more memory than my Windows 98"

This is why I still run DOS 5 and only have 640kB of memory

In all seriousness, DON'T run Norton 2007. It's worse than spyware. However, I have found Symantec Corporate to be less intrusive and quite nice on Vista.

Everyone will have a love hate thing with antivirus programs. I have found NOD32 (dunno if there is a Vista version yet) and Symantec Corp to be the best for my use so far.

Has anyone tried infecting a Vista system with current viruses that are out at the moment? I think MS claimed that Vista is their most secured OS is because the whole OS code has been re-written. Therefore old viruses won't be able to infect a Vista system, until viruses makers start making new viruses.

Tried one recently?

I've been using OSX 10.4 for less than a week in the new office and it's already convinced me that I need to own one.

so, expect a virus for it a few hours after it was released?
