Consumer and Enterprise Announcement

[Steve Dodson [MSFT]]

Today at the RSA conference, Bill Gates announced the consumer and
enterprise strategy for Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware.

"The personal version of the final Windows AntiSpyware software (will be)
available at no additional charge to licensed Windows customers as part of
the Windows value proposition. The offering will offer full functionality
to consumers, including the ability to detect and remove spyware, continual
protection that helps guard against more than 50 ways that Web sites and
programs can put spyware on a PC, and protection against the latest threats
through the combined efforts of the SpyNet™ community and Microsoft
researchers. For business customers, with more complex infrastructure
support, management and deployment needs, Microsoft plans a managed
anti-spyware solution that will be available as part of a paid solution."

This is a terrific announcement--thanks for the details.

Is there a public statement about what versions of Windows the "Windows
