Title: Microsoft to sell Anti-Virius software Post by: "Sixhits" on June 17, 2004, 12:23:59 am http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?storyID=5429092 (http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?storyID=5429092)
>>> Mike Nash, chief of Microsoft's security business unit, told reporters that Microsoft is developing software to protect personal computers running Windows against malicious software, the worms and viruses that have plagued users with data loss, shutdowns and disruptions in Web traffic in recent years. "We're still planning to offer our own AV (anti-virus) product," Nash said. Asked if that would hurt sales of competing products, such as Network Associates' McAfee and Symantec's Norton family of products, Nash said that Microsoft said that it would sell its anti-virus program as a separate product from Windows, rather than including it in Windows. <<< Right. First they sell a broken OS. Then they sell the fix. They're like a drug dealer. You're always gonna need just ... one ... more ... fix.
