"I'll give you an example: It's my favorite feature within Windows Vista, it's called ASLR (Address Space [Layout] Randomization). What it does is, each Windows Vista machine is slightly different than every other Windows Vista machine. So even if there is a remote exploit on one machine, and a worm tries to jump from one machine to another, the probability of that actually succeeding is very small. And I wanted to do this in Windows XP SP2, but we couldn't figure out how to do it. So then a smart guy here came up with a solution, so we put it in Windows Vista." (source)
Of course, as a consumer I'm rather skeptical about this - what it does really is contain the threat and not let viruses spread. I highly doubt this will hurt the anti-virus software industry too.In other news, Windows Vista lets you preview the high quality bitrate sounds for the new operating system.
