Will Vista Kill The Market For 3rd-Party Security Applications?

November 23rd, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

I was doing some desk research into the online security market today as I have a brainstorming workshop all day tomorrow at work to see if there are any areas that the company I’m working for at the moment can seize upon.

I came across a story on CNET stating that the public beta of Symantec’s next generation security suite, Norton 360 went live yesterday, and it made me think - will we need applications like this when Vista goes live? Windows Vista appears to provide pretty good protection out of the box, which looks like it will be more than adequate for most users.

Has anyone seen any reviews that focus on Vista’s security capabilities? I’d love to not have to run additional security software, as I hate the amount of resources they take up, particularly Symantec software which I hate as they take forever to install/uninstall and noticably slow machines down.
