  1. Comment - Symantec: MS Making Vista Insecure

    (Oct 18, 2006 - 12:52 AM)

    I believe that Symantec has a horrible product. They want even more control than they do now. When you install their software it burrows into the registry and when you try to remove it, it makes windows unstable and crash.
    I have not had the same problems with Mcaffee software. I have had it for a while and it works great. My company who is an invotator in technology uses Mcaffee as well.
    I think Microsoft should secure their operating system yes, but not allowing for a collaboration of minds is foolish. They are saying that we are the great OS God and bow down to us.
    All they are going to do is cause smarter people than they are to crash the OS. Who wants to wait for that? Do like everyone else in a windows world. 1. Find an alternative or 2. Wait until Vista has been out awhile and had a major over haul like XP did with SP1 and 2. When they did this they created essentially a new OS. Wait until the big PR battle is over and then buy the new computer with Vista or upgrade to it. Windows XP SP2 works fine. I have Windows XP SP2 at home on my network and Achronis Drive Image software to back up everything. As well as Mcaffee security center. I haven't had a problem in a while. I will be upgrading to a faster computer soon, but it will have XP on it until the OS is completely stable.
