According to a security vendor, the current Windows operating system, Vista, is more secure that its ancestor, XP. They rated it as 37% more secure.

“We wanted to find out how bulletproof Vista was. The answer is that it is more secure than XP, but not so secure that you can give up on anti-virus and other security software,” said Michael Greene who is the vice president of product strategy at PC Tools. The company also found out from their results that Windows 2000 is much more secure than Vista or XP.

Recently, Microsoft asserted that Vista is 60% more secure than XP.
