MS has had OneCare out there since 2006. Has it made a dent in the equally inferior Symantec and McAfee sales? Not much.

You're right, it is FUD, all MS FUD

Previously OneCare was WhoCares because all the big computer vendors were shoving Norton or whatever in the box.

If MS puts this free stuff in the box people won't want to pay for Norton.

I don't see it making much of a difference for the 800lbs gorillas

That's what the 800lb gorillas of browsers and email once thought.

That's how it started with Internet Explorer and Netscape.

I was there at ground zero at Lotus when MS gave away email and nuked an entire industry so don't tell me about FUD as I've been royally FUD'd by Microsoft before and it's easy to see it coming for the AV industry ;)

Not to mention those poor people that made DoubleSpace, pesky patents didn't even get in MS's way!
