While I would never consider myself a Microsoft lover you have to admit that Vista IS better than XP. At least the 64bit version. If you have a 32 bit processor I would agree, stick with XP SP2 for now. As for shifting the blame to the user for insecure surfing habits this is correct. The computer does not infect itself. If a user does something stupid to infect their PC how is the OS going to stop that. Let me just fire up X-Windows as root on my trusty laptop and let's go surfing!

Same old problems, too many people running on their systems as admins and downloading all the malware.
