I wouldn't want an antivirus from Microsoft. I don't think it'll be good. And heck, we're pirates, we get everything for free anyway.

Problem is unless they integrate it into the OS (which they cant do in the EU) it just wont kick off. Its the whole IE over FF and Windows over Linux argument all over again. Those that are not computer literate as such will stick with what they know for the most part, whether it be IE, Windows Or media player. Ive instructed many users on better applications for surfing, protection and media players to name but a few topics but they always revert back to what they know very quickly.
We will stick to what we like and know works. I use NOD32 and ive only ever had 1 virus on this machine in the 3 or 4 years ive had it. And that single virus was my own fault as i added my sandbox app to the exception list then forgot to confine my virus to the sandbox terminal.
Then the uneducated will just stick with that one product that they pay stupid amounts of money for, that one product that needs a computer format to completely wipe all traces of it, that one product whose name makes us all cringe when we hear it.... Norton!!!
Its probably just a scheme to search for anti-wga stuff anyway.
interesting post...
