... And what incentive would MS have ...
... to support their AV product and provide updates. NONE!! Once they have 90% market share (and "cut off Symantec's air supply"), they'll support and update their AV product just as much as they supported and updated their browser.

Even getting NAV free with rebates isn't a deal unless you like your system to run like a lead slug.
