Hey AllenJensen: you'll want to visit this page for a list of Windows Vista-compatible AV products: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/windowsvistaRC1AV.mspx.

Am I the only one that is extremely annoyed by some of Vista's security measures? Even when I'm in administrator mode, I have to grant permission TWO TIMES to run an installer EXE file. This is ridiculous. Even programs I have been running for days still prompt me for permission, like Firefox. Is there anyway to permanently trust an application so it NEVER asks permission? Especially when I'm in administrator mode!! When I am logged in as an administrator and I double click an executable it's because I WANT TO RUN IT. I don't want to be asked two more times for permission. This is incredibly cumbersome, and it makes Vista very discouraging.

I have AVG free antivirus for Windows Vista (I'm opposed to trial editions like Windows One Care) and it only starts with my computer about 50% of the time. And every time it tries do download updates my computer asks me permission again. I have already granted AVG access in my firewall. I shouldn't have to give permission every single time it tries to update. Microsoft, if you're listening, please find a way to make program installs, updates, and running programs in general less bothersome to use. When I'm in administrator mode, just about every click I make is one I want to click. I don't have any executables I am going to run which will damage my system because I'm very careful what I install and download onto my computer, and I shouldn't have to give trusted applications permission to run or download updates EVERY time, sometimes twice. If there's someway to disable this that I don't know of, please let me know.

Jim, given the "defense-in-depth measures ... put in Windows Vista—both the number of defenses and their combined effectiveness", where do you and others reading this blog believe the AV vendors should focus their efforts? What should I look for in an AV product to cover the gaps?

Turns out Allchin's OK. Can we pig-pile on Oracle instead?

You could read it more easily if you weren't using Internet Explorer (any version, 7 included) by using this neat thing called alternate CSS stylesheets (used by Firefox, Opera, Safari etc. and in existence since 1999) and choosing Page Style > No style.

No wonder, since this wonderful blog made in XHTML 1.0 Strict still uses incorrect HTML 3.2 syntax (bold tags, not closing self-contained tags such as <br />) and all.

Try to render it with a correct XML mimetype, and see it throw up errors all over the place. Nice (almost) table-less design though.

Maybe by 2010 will Windows reach *nix security levels... Yes, a security level where you can still give direct hardware access to some processes, and not an 'all or nothing' kind of access.

Yes, I'm talking about OpenGL and EAX.

A pure delight to get Vista insight directly from "the horse's mouth". I'm having problems reading white text on black, though. Could you reconsider the color choice? Thanks, Arne
