Scott Swanson - Introduces himself and the new help system in Whidbey

It is all very well when your mother has a tech head of a son to set up secure zones but in my experience most people who buy a computer don't know how exposed a normal install can be. It's like selling then a loaded gun with no licence or training. The
introduction of default firewall is good but should have been implemented earlier. Do your friends and family a favour and save them from misery by offering to secure their system. Microsoft should provide a locked down system which needs letting out not
vice-versa.
Love the site and keep up the good work!
I got halfway through the interview before I had to stop it. The level of precaution suggested is not realistic. I think it would be less work (and near equally as effective) to just pull the box off the 'net.
No version of Windows contains effectiveness and empowering tools to protect users on the 'net...and that's OK. An operating system should not try to be all things to everyone. There are third-party products that do a much better job than any service pack
will to protect people.
The top area's that any person should keep in mind to protect themselves:
1 - Firewall
2 - Anti-Virus
3 - Spyware/Adware removal
4 - windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Cover those three bases + home base (#4) and you'll find trouble much less frequently than the other "average" folks. You'll also be able to use Internet Explorer like the "above average" folks...and not be tied down to only using javascripts on eBay.

I totally agree. The clip doesn't even come close to being "the top things".
On the other hand, it's worth remembering that the clips we're seeing are the exact opposite of prepared interviews. The answers aren't prepared in any way. think about what you might say if someone dropped by your desk with a camera!
