Symantec CEO Says He Has Never Insalled Vista and Has No Use For It
Coming off a good quarter for Symantec’s consumer businesses, CEO John Thompson warns against viewing Windows Vista as a solution to security woes. He goes on to say that he has never installed the operating system and that he sees no need for it for what I do online today. Ouch!
Consumers should not be confused. Vista is not a security solution. Vista is an operating system, and Vista provides some very important advances from Microsoft’s perspective and for the industry’s point of view on building a more stable, more reliable, more secure operating platform, but people still need the efficacy that comes with the products that Symantec and others in the industry build, and so we should not be confused by the marketing rhetoric with what Vista is. It’s a hopefully much better product than XP or any of its predecessors, but it’s not a security solution.
