"We are pleased to have worked closely with Microsoft during the beta program of Windows Vista by ensuring that corporate and consumer customers using the beta and RTM can receive reliable malware protection from our TrendLabs researchers," commented Lane Bess, president, North American operations, Trend Micro.
"Windows Vista customers can rely on Trend Micro's long-standing security expertise to help protect their systems, just as we've safeguarded users of Windows client operating systems for nearly two decades.
