Vista instability

Some of Microsoft's efforts to make Windows Vista its most stable and secure operating system ever could cause instability and new security flaws, according to a Symantec report.

Researchers at Cupertino, California-based Symantec examined the new networking technology in recent test releases of Vista, Microsoft's next major operating system release. They found several security bugs and determined that Vista's networking technology will be less stable, at least in the short run, than Windows XP's.

"Microsoft has removed a large body of tried and tested code and replaced it with freshly written code, complete with new corner cases and defects. This may provide for a more stable networking stack in the long term, but stability will suffer in the short term."

Vista, slated to be broadly available in January, will be the first major new version of Windows for PCs since XP, which was released in 2001. Microsoft has put a stronger emphasis on protecting PCs in the new operating system, as security has grown in importance over those five years. Symantec's report draws attention once again to Microsoft's goal of improved security and the hurdles it faces in getting there.

Grisoft, the maker of the popular free antivirus software AVG has announced that Microsoft has fixed a bug that was preventing AVG from installing on Vista Beta 2. You need to get an update though.

Peter Cameron of Grisoft's Australian distributor Avalanche Technology said Vista Beta 2 users should obtain the Microsoft patch via Windows Update.

Only days after the release of build 5456 of Windows Vista, Microsoft already plans to release another interim build, no later than this week.
The build supposedly consumes fewer system resources and the long-awaited new Aero Basic theme.
The build number is currently unknown.

Little more than a month after issuing a bug-laden Windows Vista Beta 2, Microsoft has shipped its first post-Beta 2 interim build of the next Windows and it makes up a lot of lost ground. Indeed, it's hard not to view this build and not believe that Microsoft is absolutely back on track (Ed -or off the rails).

Though there are few major changes in build 5456, which, despite the naming convention used on its desktop, is part of the release candidate (RC) build tree, and not a direct successor to Beta 2.
