Antitrust case against Microsoft over AV would be 'long shot,' says expert - Computerworld
Wouldn't it be better for the to compete and trash MSE in terms of quality then? Show the customers what's the best suite to protect the system from malware instead of doing radical approach everytime they're threatened from competition.
Jealousy much?
By having the installed desktop base as they do, MS when they include specific type software, can render many third parties as irrelevant....even when the third parties have a much better product.
If most people weren't so ignorant/careless and didn't leave their machines unprotected, we wouldn't have seen so many malware issues and MSE wouldn't have to be pushed as an update (and an optional one at that). MS is damned if they do, damned if they don't.
On the other hand, I see no harm in MS putting up a browser-style ballot selection - even if the browser one hasn't really done squat.
There's still the freedom of choice here. Microsoft isn't force feeding anyone to use their product.
That said, since using MSE I've had no need to shell out $30-50 bucks a year. That's what these competitors are crying about
You just got to love capitalism
And oh BTW.... MSE just happens to get the job done.... just like the pay for versions
