Will Microsoft Enter The Antivirus Market? | |
|

| Time: 04:32 EST/09:32 GMT | News Source: Forbes.com | Posted By: Joshua Baer | ||

Credit Suisse First Boston that while the competitive landscape in the consumer antivirus market "should remain relatively unchanged during 2004" for computer-security company Network Associates, Microsoft may consider entering at some point. "[T]here is hardly an area in software where Microsoft does not have influence, and the company could eventually include antivirus functionality in future service packs. We believe that the most likely timing for Microsoft to enter the antivirus market could be with the release of Microsoft Windows Longhorn, which is at least two years away," CSFB said. | ||

What an amazingly insightful article. I guess Forbes missed out on Microsofts purchase of GeCad back in June of '03, along with the comments that MS would be releasing their own AV software in the future and that they are trying to determine whether they should bundle it with Windows or sell it as a seperate product.
That said, I'm not sure this will mark a massive change in the marketplace. MS will have to put out one hell of a nice program to convince users to use their AV solution. To be honest though, I'm still a little bitter at the poor Central Point offering built into DOS 6.22 to give MS AV more than a second thought.
