We'll have to wait and see whether Vista security is much improved over XP's. Don't forget, we were promised major security improvements with XP and when that didn't pan out, SP 2 was supposed to fix things. Now we're told Vista will keep us safe. Limiting user rights can be disabled in Vista, and if it's too onerous for most users to have to give permission for too many things, people will simply disable the feature and we'll be in the same state we're in now. Like you, I've never been infected with malware, but unlike you, I'm not that worried about getting infected. Not worried enough to spend a fair chunk of change on a new operating system, anyway. I rarely use Internet Explorer, so it wouldn't bother me if the version that can be downloaded for XP is not as secure as the version in Vista. >> Besides, whenever we buy new boxes we will get stuck with it anyway. >> Yes, and that's when I'll get it. --Judy M.
