McAfee today continues the public shots taken at Microsoft and Windows Vista by publishing an open letter to computer users stating that Microsoft is increasing your security risk with Windows Vista by not allowing them "Kernel" access.
This strikes me as odd, it is like asking me for the keys to my house so that you can protect me. I don't want you to have the keys to my house, just like I don't want anyone to have kernel access to my system. This is just silly, not only does giving them this level of access increase my security risk, as hackers would inneviatably have the same access. It will probably leave my system less stable.
Read the letter, and judge for yourself, but it reads like someone whining.
