Presently there is a sturdy resistance in the midst of safekeeping resolutions developers against Microsoft and the defensive measures the Redmond Company has executed in Windows Vista's kernel, locking third party software out of the operating system's core. In this context, McAfee has joined Symantec and the security chorus lashing out at Microsoft. Over the years, the most reliable defenders against the many, many vulnerabilities in the Microsoft operating systems have been the independent security companies such as McAfee. Yet, if Microsoft succeeds in its latest effort to hamstring these competitors, computers everywhere could be less secure. Computers are more secure today, thanks to relentless innovations by the security providers. Microsoft also has helped by allowing these companies’ products full access to system resources—this has enabled the security products to better "see" threats and deploy defenses against viruses and other attacks.
