I liked this 2-page article at SecurityFocus covering Windows Integrity Control.
Snip:
| Quote: | | With WIC, Microsoft has added the concept of mandatory access controls which are more or less set by the operating system, and trump, or override the discretionary access controls. Segregating all files and processes that originate from the Internet and prohibiting them from interacting with or modifying files or objects on the system help to make the system more secure when surfing the Web. |
Since Vista will be supported for the next 10-12 years, and considering the trends in malware lately, I think it's a timely improvement. It'll be interesting to see how the bad guys adapt.
