Microsoft to tout security improvements
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft's release of a security fix for a preview version of Windows Vista last month didn't exactly help its assertion that the upcoming revamp of the PC operating system will be more resilient to online threats.
But Jim Allchin, the longtime Windows chief, warns against rushing to judgment. In fact, Allchin cites the situation as a sign of how things have improved: The vulnerability, he says, would have been found prior to Windows Vista's final release, through an internal review that was already under way at the time of its discovery by someone outside the company.
