When all is said and done, is this going to be a
subscription based product or is it going to be part of
Windows? I assume subscription based, but thought I'd ask.

Everything posted by Microsoft so far, which you should read, says "not yet
determined."

I don't think you will hear anything else from the horses mouth until the
actual final form is announced.

There are reports that PC Statisfaction is resurected and Microsoft will
release it as a subscription service.It will have the AV Program (bought by
Microsoft), This product. Plus I am sure whatever else is in there. Seems
the monitoring and firewall were brought into XP SP2.

That is UNFORTUNATE. My feeling/opinion is that
Microsoft needs to do more in terms of Windows OS
architecture to protect OS and apps... and due to
architectural "flaws"... spyware has become a serious
problem.... and AntiSpyware may be first step to do so...
but offering as SUBSCRIPTION or FEE is not
appropriate. Offering integrated in Windows AND free
(not fee) based updates similar to Windows/Office
Updates... would be best solution for Microsoft and
customers alike.

Microsoft can only really stop the ones that worm themselves in via
vulnerabilities that Microsoft needs to fix. If a user installs it on itself
or another program and does not read the EULA, then that is the users fault.
IE in XP SP2 seems to do a pretty good job with the info bar, but then again
I wonder how many users just ok everything?
