Vista IS rock solid...
My rep and I were going through Mr. Allchin's talking points one by one over dinner tonight. Everything he says is completely true. How do I know this? Because I AM RUNNING VISTA IN PRODUCTION here right now as we speak. Laptops and desktops are all running the full blown Vista eXPerience and the security is unreal. My rep challenged our security team to hack into Vista. To make sure all went well, I told the team if they were able to crack Vista, I would have to fire them because they had to have cheated. I mandated the security team work through the weekends on 24/7 shifts. At the end, no breaches were reported. My rep and I then high-fived each other and my rep gave out t-shirts that said "Hasta la Vista to Windows XP!". Good times were shared by all. Mr. Allchin is a true visionary and a true guru. He speaks only the truth.
