"We are pleased to be working closely with Microsoft during the Beta program of Windows Vista by ensuring that customers receive complete Internet security protection from PC-cillin and our TrendLabs researchers," added Lane Bess, global GM of consumer products and services, Trend Micro. "Windows Vista customers can rely on Trend Micro's long-standing security expertise for protecting their systems, just as we've safeguarded users of Windows client operating systems for nearly two decades, and currently protect more than 300 million Microsoft Hotmail users around the world."
