How Much Security Will Microsoft Be Allowed? | |
|
||
| Time: 08:35 EST/13:35 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Opinion: Times have changed. A few years ago would Microsoft have been allowed to destroy a whole category of software, even for a good reason? Microsoft's announcements today at the RSA conference are good news for Windows users, but one has to wonder if they'll really go through unchallenged. Much of what Bill Gates said is ambiguous, probably reflecting a certain amount of uncertainty about what they actually plan to deliver. But I definitely get the impression that they plan to offer both their AntiSpyware software and updates to it for free to (Genuine) Windows users. They will also sell a managed version of the product for larger networks. I sure wouldn't want to be an independent anti-spyware company now. If they don't get bought out soon they'll be out of a job before they know it. It really makes you wonder what was going through the heads of the people who gave all that money to Webroot. | ||
