Vista so secure it includes security software

Vista: the most secure OS ever. From Microsoft.

Microsoft is betting that Vista — its first major upgrade to of the operating system since October 2001 — will help shed the company’s long-held reputation among consumers for selling software that is rife with security flaws and thus vulnerable to hackers.

Finally, no need for security software.

At the same time, the initiative is a bet that Vista, along with a stand-alone security application it rolled out last year, can help Microsoft capture some of the dollars that consumers now spend on products from smaller rivals like Symantec Corp.

Waaaa? Now, that, that shows confidence in your product.
