Low-End Laptops with High-End Security
Windows XP still makes Swiss cheese look like the Great Wall of China, and
Vista's security is very much untested. So it seems that the $100 Linux laptop
(I think there have been more articles written about this puppy than units shipped)
could upstage Microsoft desktop OSes by
offering
a deeper level of security than anything Redmond offers -- say, along the
lines of a Mac.
This is the beauty of building a system from the ground up. And that means
Microsoft should be able to do the same thing with Vista. Only time (as in months)
will tell. Are you a beta tester? Have your tests revealed anything about Vista
security? Clue us in by commenting below or e-mailing me at [email protected]
