Symantec report: Vista a bit buggy and unstable

Security vendor Symantec has released a paper highlighting flaws and security issues with the upcoming Vista system that Microsoft is expected to complete and release at year's end. But since Microsoft took a big plunge into the security industry this year, pretty much taking Symantec on in terms of competition, you have to take the report with a big grain of salt. The paper claims that new code will make Vista less stable than XP, at least initially, and notes several flaws in the beta version currently under scrutiny. Microsoft, for its part, responds that the version under review is a beta, after all, and so flaws are expected.
