no Unix is not invenurable. and within the next 2 years we will see if OS X is secure as I say it is as there is a chance OS X Lepoard (10.5) Will be avaliable for non-Apple Machines
Yes, exactly Kyle… so there is no chance we can say something is more secure than something else… maybe at this particular point, but very soon, as soon as those hacker find it interesting to “play with”, they will attack even those which we think today, are most secure OSes… that’s their food, and I believe it will always be like that… Regarding those upgrades to new OS, I really never ever had a single problem… not a glitch. I even do remote updates to my father’s PC, and you all know he is in Croatia, and I’m here in Canada. I never ever experienced anything weird or something. It’s just, you have to be carefull and know what are you doing… and most important read those notes Microsoft gives you to read before any update… read what is it for and do you really need it or not… sometimes you have a bunch of really unnecessary updates, so no point of updating your system… for example: Bunch of language updtes for more than 30 languages for Windows 98. Why would I have to update my father’s PC with some Korean language updates or something third… but some people never ever read, and they just automatically download and install all kind of crap… and after that, they wonder what happened with their systems… they are sooo slow, they don’t respond etc… sometimes you will even see a note from Microsoft: “…if you previously updated your system with that, do not perform this update…” etc. People just have to read more… every single OS is awfully complex thing, and we have to take it into consideration whenever we want/need to change something.

BTW the Standard Shield will be revamped for Vista. We’ll use a whole new driver (instead of aswMon.sys/aswMon2.sys) to do the scanning. We already have a pre-release version ready…
How do I get a copy of that? I’m on the tech beta of Vista.
mtmouse, welcome to forum !
Btw, please use those quote tags, so your posts will be much easier to read and understand. If you are not familiar with text edit funtions that forum engine provides, just ask, someone will be more than happy to explain. I guess, first part of your message was origianl quote by Vlk, and this way it looks like you said those words…
Thanks in advance !
For all those who still are affraid of Vista, or better say anything that’s new (we all remember those stories, and stroies about SP2, and today, more than 99% of Windows XP users are using SP2), here is one nice link:

Greetings,
LOVE the product, I’m done recommenting Symantec to friends and family.
I’m also running Vista Beta 1 (from MSDN subscription) and encountered the same WebShield problem. If you guys already have a Vista version ready to go, are you looking for testers? I’d be happy to give it a go.
is there a way to test out windows vista for the home users or do we have to wait and buy the product?bri
Windows One Care is now in Beta, you can nominate yourself as a beta tester if you want:
