Someone should give the Kaspersky pro's a medal for coming up with the following - 'as Vista becomes more popular, it will increasingly become a target for hackers.'

Is this not common sense? You wouldn't try to cause massive global problems etc. by hacking / writing a virus for an OS that is only found on 1 PC now would you.

Microsoft is massively popular and so of course people will target it!

I did a software engineering course and was taught that it is virtually impossible to test all your code within acceptable time frames and so as vulnerabilities / bugs are inevitable but when discovered they are patched...the real test is how quick patches are and how effective they are.

Stories like this always read like others could do better than Microsoft but if this is the case then why is Microsoft still massively ahead of any competition.
