| | For me, it's a two way firewall, monitoring inbound/outbound traffic, (I think I read that Vista will have this) and an updated OOBE (that's the thing which runs right after Windows is installed), with a security tutorial, teaching you what viruses and spyware are, and how to protect yourself. This should be in the home line of products. Just think how many people wouldn't have had virus/spyware infections had Microsoft included this in the XP OOBE! (and enabled the firewall by default...) |

I would like to see more choice in Vista than is currently offered with Microsoft products. The option to choose what features you really want installed, for every feature. I would also like the option to remove things like IE, Media Player and other bundled software that people use purely because it is there. Also, perhaps a general 'Feedback Form' somewhere easily accessible that would get read by the developers at Microsoft and they would actually act on what people want. Now, back to the real world...
