Symantec's comments biased

Symantec's comments are hardly surprising seeing as the latest 2007 edition of it's security suite is considered "not compatible with visita" I have it installed on Vista and it works but some features are disabled by Vista and Vista suggests removing it.

To make things worse main rival McAfee does work with Vista.

hmm I wonder why John Thompson doesn't have Vista installed? Could it be he doesn't want to have to install McAfee instead of Norton?

Interesting to see if his viewpoints change when Norton release fully Vista compatible edition
