Vista, Antivirus: What If Allchin's Right? |
|
|
cj writes "PERSPECTIVE Many were quick to condemn a suggestion by Jim Allchin last week that Windows could be capable of evolving beyond the need for antivirus software - at least in specific situations. But what if Allchin's right?
At that time, he never advised Vista users not to use antivirus software.
What he did say was that he was so confident in Vista’s new Defense-in-Depth
architecture and failsafes that, under limited circumstances, he would allow a
family member to run the operating system without active anti-virus software.
Thus, he implied that the operating system might not need antivirus software –
at the very least, not in similar limited circumstances.
Wow, you describe a specific situation and suddenly people
extrapolate something completely different! wrote Allchin on the Vista team blog on Friday.
