A report was released by Microsoft yesterday stating that Windows Vista greatly outperforms XP when it comes to security. The number of infections that Vista computers got was far less then XP users have faced. Still, whatever operating system you use it is always necessary to update to the latest service pack available, as it is this service packs that contain most major security modifications. That is another reason behind Vista supremacy – Vista SP completely outbeat XP SP in the subject of security configurations. For obvious reasons we can’t have any information of this kind on Windows 7, however it has been stated that Windows 7 contains a number of new important security enhancements.
