MS to get into the antivirus business....
Xeen:
and kill competition. Say goodbye to Norton.

I bet MS's antivirus software itself will create more bugs than it will attempt to fix.
jasonlane:
Great business model. Drive both the supply and demand at the same time....Wow!
M51DPS:
What will really be amazing is when they charge people a subscription fee for their anti-virus software, then create viruses to pick off anyone who doesn't constantly own a subscription, so don't have the latest definitions. They'll also say that they're better than the other vendors because microsoft was the fastest to get a fix for their own virus.

I remember MS bundling anti-virus software in with Windows 3.11. It was completely useless.
You think I'll trust another MS anti-virus product?
mc0282:
in my thoughts microsoft is the one costing some of the virus so could make it an excuse to force people upgrade to next windows.. i would never trust microsoft with virus they would problably make it worse.
