Subject: MS Anti Virus?

You make anti virus software sound like a gun lock on a 9MM.

Does it really matter who is in the anti-virus market? If Microsoft goes 
that way, and they have the best knowledge of what they created, what we can 
reasonably expect to see in the words of Bill Gates "Innovation, with rich 
user features, deeply embeded in our software".

So, we can have an AV product that does great things, but maybe only 2% of 
it will be used, and because it is a microsoft product, we can expect 
patches every month, with known and unknown vulnerabilites from day one.

LOL!
