Vista Security UnderwhelmsThe CRN Test Center buries the idea that Windows Vista is much more secure than Windows XP: "In the end, both the Vista and the XP test notebooks were almost equally damaged by viruses, trojans and other malware. And because most of the Web sites [used in our] test were able to exploit Vista's weaknesses, Internet users are just about equally vulnerable with both OSes." As I've noted here and here, improved security could have been the driver of much Vista adotion. But as we've seen here and here, people just don't feel the urge to upgrade. So when will people move to Vista? When they buy a new computer that already has it installed. Get comfortable seeing XP in your organizations for a long time...
