The sooner rivals stop crying over nothing the better. Microsoft is shipping an antivirus with their OS. Let me get this right, did i just say THEIR OS as in the OS microsoft wrote and have 100% control over on what they can put into it, take out of it and do with it? Microsoft adding an antivirus to the microsoft operating system is no different than toyota adding their own CD systems to their own cars or built in TVs. It is their car, if they want to do this sony have no right to complain about this!

Likewise, just because microsoft is shipping the Antivirus with windows does not mean i am going to go right out there, uninstall it and stick on my own preferred antivirus. Is their anti virus being so is shit the reason why Symantec are making such a noise over nothing? The sooner Symantec go out of business in the Antivirus world the better.
