Summary

It is the authors' hope that the readers of Windows Vista Security: Securing Vista Against Malicious Attacks come to be among the most informed Windows administrators in the business. After finishing this book, readers should understand the strengths and weaknesses of Windows Vista, and of computer security in general. Along with all the new material presented, we hope that you walk away with answers to many questions that you've had for years about existing technologies and techniques. Last, we hope to impart to the reader a healthy dose of security skepticism, both directed toward all the glowing Windows Vista marketing literature and toward its critics. We firmly believe that Windows Vista is among the most readily secured operating systems for PCs and is highly appropriate for most networks and users.
