Microsoft Security Guru Wants Risks Rated Lower

Microsoft’s own bug hunters should cut Windows Vista some slack and rate its vulnerabilities differently because of the operating system’s new, baked-in defenses, according to the developer who is often the public persona of the company’s Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) process.

Such a modest request. “Because it’s new” doesn’t cut it. Vista was in production for near five years and in massive beta testing for months. Any security risks that are there, should be well known.
