Submission + - Microsoft Cautioned Over Misleading Windows 7 Ad (crn.com.au)
bennyboy64 writes: CRN reports that the Australian competition watchdog has slapped Microsoft on the wrist with a letter saying it should be more careful when advertising the security capabilities of Windows 7. In a TV advertising campaign, Microsoft said consumers didn't 'have to worry about bad stuff getting through'. iTnews has an audio clip from Jeff Putt, who heads up the Windows consumer team, who said consumers should get 'more sincere guidance' from a third party if they wanted to know how secure Windows 7 was.
