MS has a short memory......

Does anyone remember (this will show my age a bit) Microsoft had tried getting into the anti-virus game once before back in the final years of MS-DOS being the OS? It was a complete failure. Updates were far few and inbetween, then without saying a word updates stopped, didn't tell anyone publicly their A/V was no longer going to be updated and they should purchase a copy from one of the other A/V vendors.

Also, "One Care Live" if you will note is for what OS? yep XP ONLY and what do they package with it? Why its a firewall. Hmmmmm... I thought XP had a firewall built in......Yeah, I'll trust them again...sure I will...

Now with One Care Live being a stand-alone product they now sell, what is their incentive to build a more secure OS? At least their former attempt was free when you installed the OS....

Byeeeeee MS I've already had linux on a dualboot. Now I think MS has proved to me its partition is due for deletion!
