Default XP apps on Vista
If I run a program designed for windows XP on windows Vista, like outlook express, is it still susceptible to viruses? Or do I need to get Vista designed versions to avoid viruses?

Hopefully Microsoft's updates will address any security concerns with applications originally developed for XP now running in Vista, but don't count on it.
