As Vissta hit the shelves last week with a big lot of Microsoft hype, bugs are starting to appear. Security issues, driver problems and some multimedia programs are having issues with the new operating system. Beta users of Vista have long reported problems running version 7.02 of iTunes, the most recent release. Apple, since the same problem has occurred in the full retail releases have issued the following recommendation: "iTunes 7.0.2 may work with Windows Vista on many typical PCs. Apple recommends, however, that customers wait to upgrade Windows until after the next release of iTunes which will be available in the next few weeks."
However, in what seems to be the worse security flaw ever in an operating system Windows Vista is too smart for its own good. Security researchers found that Vista's speech recognition system is good enough for hackers to issue security breaching commands using malicious sound files on rogue websites.
My currently feeling is to wait a few months before looking at upgrading till at least a number of roll up security packages have been released.
