Doubts about Vista’s security advantages

As readers of these posts know, one of the big selling points for Vista is supposed to be its better security. Mary Jo Foley says maybe not. She quotes an AP story over at Yahoo:

But is Vista’s security really so much better than that provided by Windows XP Service Pack 2? The short answer to that question, according to the Associated Press, is not a whole heck of a lot.

As I posted earlier, Roger Grimes doesn’t agree. It looks like the real answer about whether Vista is more than marginally more secure in actual practice is going to require some months of seeing Vista in service.
