FUD!!
What will happen is that MS will move security features to the subscription based software, so in the end you will HAVE to pay a subscription, on top of the upfront costs of purchasing the OS itself in order to be able to just surf the web savely.

Many people would say that security features like firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc. should not be a part of the OS so really, this should make all those anti-bundling people very happy.

As far as having to pay a subscription to surf the web safely, use Firefox or Opera if you are that concerned about weaknesses in IE. No one forces you to use IE and nothing at all stops you from using any other browser you want.

So what was your point? Ahhh, to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about Microsoft. Carry on then, just be aware that some of us aren't so blinded by zealotry to be fooled by such infantile tactics.
