Outgoing Windows development chief Jim Allchin recanted his earlier statements about the security of Windows Vista. Now after the media has had a field day with his statements he has had a change of heart.
“After reading the transcript, I could certainly see that what I said wasn’t as clear as it could have been, and I’m sorry for that. However, it is also clear from the transcript that I didn’t say that users shouldn’t run anti-virus software with Windows Vista! In fact, later in the call, I explicitly made this point again, because I had realised I wasn’t as clear as I should have been,” Allchin writes in a posting to the Windows Vista blog.Allchin returns to the standard Microsoft line that even though
XPVista is the most secure operating system Redmond has ever produced, users would still need additional security software.
Hmmm, ya don’t say.
