While Ubuntu rolls forth with Fawn (yeah!), Microsoft is developing Anti-Virus software for THEIR OWN OS! A logical person would ask, “if you’re going to spend time/money on something, why not on the OS to make it better rather then a band-aid?” The “logical” MS marketing folks would reply “we can’t make the OS too good cause then we couldnt’ charge folks for all that tech-support, and we couldn’t sucker them into buying an Anti-Virus program for our OS.”
I can almost hear folks at Wal-Mart now..
“Look, Martha! It’s an Anti-Virus program made by Microsoft! Wow, that means it’s the OFFICIAL Anti-Virus program of Windows! We’d better get it, and stop using that other anti-virus program! Oh, yeah, we’ll need to pick up MS Office 2007, too. I’m not sure what new features are in it, but we’d better get it cause it’s newer. Oh, shoot…we don’t meet the system specs. We’ll need a new computer, too. Boy, that’s gonna be $3000 well spent!”
