Microsoft Security Pricing Irks Partners
By Nate Mook, BetaNews
June 20, 2006, 7:32 PM
When Microsoft first hinted that it would enter the security software
market three years ago, the company's partners began to worry behind
closed doors about the implications. With Microsoft's security push now
in full swing, the doors have opened and once bedfellows have turned
adversaries.

Windows sucks - and as such, inexperience users NEED antivirus and anti
spyware technology to safely use a computer.

By providing low cost alternatives Microsoft is making people more likely to
have these. Remember microsoft wanted to ship its next OS with antivirus
and anti spyware built in. This is the compromise.
