The security of the upcoming much delayed release of Windows Vista has taken another blow. A review of the Vista offering as it currently exists was performed by the Yankee Group and its less than flattering.
Andy Jaquith, the analyst who authored the report for Yankee Group, said that many people already working with Vista feel that Microsoft’s security tools are unnecessarily repetitive and even patronizing, and interrupt the workflow of administrators to the extent it makes their jobs harder to perform.
Death by a thousand popups?
“We feel companies should really wait until the end of 2007, or the beginning of 2008 at the very earliest to get into the work, as Microsoft will have likely issued a service pack by that time to address any major issues.”
Ouch.
