[News] Microsoft Enterprise Anti-Spyware Plans Take Shape

Microsoft moved a step closer to becoming a key player in the Internet
security business with the announcement Thursday of a new enterprise-class
anti-spyware product featuring technology to thwart viruses, worms and
kernel rootkits.

The new offering, dubbed Microsoft Client Protection, will go into limited
beta before year-end with a full rollout expected in 2006.

Details on pricing and licensing are being kept under wraps.

The announcement, which came during a meeting between chief executive Steve
Ballmer and business partners in Munich, Germany, is the culmination of a
year-long push by the world's largest software maker to take on entrenched
security vendors in the anti-virus/anti-spyware business.

Hi plun :-)


Additionally to Bill Sanderson's statement, the answer for your question is
in public FAQ for MSAS plans
(http://www.microsoft.com/athome/sec...ftware/faq.mspx):


Q.How much does the beta of Windows AntiSpyware cost? How much will the
final release cost?

A.Windows AntiSpyware (Beta 2) and the final release version will each be
available at no additional charge for currently licensed Windows customers.
Customers will be required to validate that their version of Windows is
genuine. Get more information about the Windows Genuine Advantage program.

Hi Mikolaj

Some people sometimes don´t remember promises when money (big money)
is involved.........

"I have never said that or make any promises "

But honourable Mr Gates I really thrust ! not the other salesman now
running MS.

This has been reiterated time and time again, and I heard it from more than
one authoritative person last week.
