After taking on the responsibility of leading Microsoft's efforts to secure its much-awaited Vista operating system, Ben Fathi, corporate vice president of the Redmond, Wash., company's Security Technology Unit, is in town at the Security Standard Conference to evangelize to the firm's progress in those efforts. While critics continue to say that Microsoft's next-generation operating system will likely carry as many vulnerabilities as its predecessors and some of the software giant's partners in the security applications markets have called the firm out for some of the new features present in preview versions of Vista, Fathi maintains that the company's Trustworthy Computing initiative is moving forward, and that the new OS will be the most secure Windows product the company has ever produced.
eWEEK Senior Writer Matt Hines sat down with Fathi at the conference on September 6th to get his perspective on where things stand with Vista at present, and in preparation for its launch in November 2006.

What matters is the turnaround time from identification to patch release, and making sure that all users apply them (which never seems to happen).

It's an Arabic letter, and it doesn't exist in the English alphabet.
You can hear that letter being pronounced: http://www.arabic2000.com/arabic/audio/letters/let6.ra
It's then pronounced just like it's spelled: fat-hi where h is that letter.... the rest are pronounced as-is.
Hope this helps!!

Well, it would be quite a disaster otherwise, no? :p
The only thing one should expect from Microsoft with no surprises is that their new versions will get successively better in the security area. You'll have your surprises if they'd fail to do so.
