Hi all, I couldn't find a newsgroup specific to Vista listed, so I'm posting
here...

Can anyone tell me if Vista will include any security features designed to
thwart rootkits, or are we still looking at third party software for such
malware? The news I've read about the rootkit software on certain Sony music
CDs and how it's already been used to get past some online game's cheat
controls, etc) caught my eye.

I'm aware of the reduced user privs feature...Just hope it works right!

Thanks,
Sir Tim
