some people belive that ms should fix the problems rather
than selling you products that fix them like anti spyware,
and av software. so my question is this. if ms opens a
line of av software will it be free? since the problem is
usually caused by microsoft mistakes? lik an enhancement
to the operating system? I mean how many times do you hear
about the new virus for the mac or linux? so if it was
thier mistake do we have to pay to protect ourselves?
If so kudos to Microsoft but beware any av software
company, microsoft vs netshield was a win, and ms vs
mcafee trend and symantec will be a battle.
I wonder when the first virus will come out that exploits
ms av code? and how fast microsoft will have a fix for it?
It certainly would not make ethical sense for microsoft to
charge us for spyware or antivirus protection. It is thier
shotty code that usually leads to these infections.
I am not a linux guru, I am a true microsoft fan, however
I do think that they owe it to the people who purchased
windows and recieved viruses and spyware in the past to
give this away.
also I cannot see why corporations would put the trust of
security in microsofts hands, when microsoft is the
insecure operating systems which they are trying to
protect.
I would want a security company that is not the SAME
company that wrote the software I am trying to protect, if
they didnt get it right the first time, why would they get
it right the second.
Also, I know MS has POCKETS! so anything is possible.
However protecting for viruses and releasing virus
definitions IMMEDIATLY after a virus is released is tough
work. I have never seen microsoft release code in HOURS!!!
OK so I think MSAV, and SPYWARE is a good thing for the
home users, (IF IT IS FREE) but I dont think that they
should try to penetrate the corporate market this is just
silly.
