| Re: NOTICE: Firefox users... Alias, Jonathan never experiences troubles and conflicts while using Windows Vista. Oddly, Alias and others that use those third party applications repeatedly complains wrongly assigning blame toward Vista. What could possibly be the reason why Alias is filled with complaints? Who is sooooooooooooo wrong? Could it be Alias? Review the below information for learning the inherent benefits provided by Windows Vista. Internet Explorer Dynamic Security Protection Through a robust new architecture, Internet Explorer 7 offers multiple, interrelated security features to help defend your PC against malware (malicious code or unwanted software, including worms, viruses, adware, and spyware). Among the browser's dynamic security protections are safeguards to help make sure your personal information doesn’t fall into the hands of fraudulent or deceptive websites. Web browsers perform many functions. They must be open and flexible enough to handle a mix of website activity while maintaining sufficiently high security to prevent unwanted data access or application behaviors. Managing this balance is a top priority for Microsoft. Together with Windows Defender, the security built into Internet Explorer 7 provides more levels of defense than ever before. Microsoft has two primary security objectives with Internet Explorer 7: • Protection against malware • Personal data safeguards Protection against malware Malware, short for malicious software, refers to software applications designed to damage or disrupt a user’s system. The proliferation of malware and its impact on security were some of the key driving forces behind the design features of Internet Explorer 7. The new version has been improved to reduce the potential for hackers to harm a system by limiting the amount of damage that can be done if malware is able to find its way onto a user's system. In addition, Internet Explorer 7 includes several technical features designed to thwart hackers' efforts to trick you into entering personal data when you should not. Core parts of the browser's architecture have also been fortified to better defend against exploitation and improve the way the browser handles data. Protected Mode Available only to people running Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista, Protected Mode provides new levels of security and data protection for Windows users. Designed to defend against "elevation of privilege" attacks, Protected Mode provides the safety of a robust Internet browsing experience while helping prevent hackers from taking over the system and installing programs or deleting your information. In Protected Mode, Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista cannot modify user or system files and settings without user consent. Protected Mode requires the user to confirm any activity that tries to put something on your machine or start another program. By ensuring the user consents to these kinds of actions, the likelihood of automated and/or unwanted software installation is reduced. This feature also makes you aware of what a website is trying to do, giving you a chance to stop it and take time to double check the trustworthiness of the website. -- Windows Vista Become Part of The Legacy!

Do you get this worked up over a pair of vise grips? Speaking of grip, GET one. It's an OS, it's just a tool, that's all. I don't know what scarier, your goose stepping DEVOTION to a piece of software, or the idea that you might actually be having kids. |

Legacy: A legacy system is an antiquated computer system or application program which continues to be used because the user (typically an organization) does not want to replace or redesign it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy So, in essence you're saying: "Windows Vista!! Become Part of the Old Crap!" freakin priceless |
