Default Vista Security

My brothers friend said that he's not getting vista because you can easily get hacked on vista. Now, is he just retarded or is that true?

Default Cleaner!

Howdy

In all honesty, my pc has never been cleaner since I switched to Vista. Granted the UAC is quite anoying, but you can turn it off (not recommended). My spyware/virus scans are always nill. I recommend vista if your willing to spend a little cash on upgrading your hardware to meet the demands of vista, and also you'll have to bare with the fact that some older software will not work with Vista. Hope this helps!

Yeah, that's a pretty broad statement without foundation. Maybe he should cite some examples if he's gonna say something like that, lol.

How old is this friend anyway?
