Vista: Antispyware, Yes. Antivirus, No | |
|

Why are Microsoft watchers surprised that Microsoft has no plans to integrate antivirus software into Windows? Redmond sees bigger dollar signs in antivirus services. Microsoft officials have been saying for quite some time that Windows Vista will ship with antispyware software built into the operating system. But for more than a year, Microsoft's top dogs have been quite clear that Microsoft has no intentions to bundle antivirus software into the product. | ||

| Microsoft wants to make sure and not bake too many products it can sell as standalones into the OS... |

| No, this decision was made by the US government a few years ago. MSFT doesnt want to tie the product into the OS, out of fear of government action. So, if you care to buy OneCare for $30, just think of it as a government tax, where the government doesn't get the money. |

The monthly "Malicious Software Removal Tool" is a form of anti-virus and rootkit detector.
I think Microsoft should go further ... but hatred towards Microsoft runs high. |
