forced the Lotus Suite/Notes The IT for that product stunk, but then again, that wasn't email either.

That was the Lotus Notes Mail I was referring to. And yes, it stunk. ;)

bundled free software

We have giants like Google bundling free software, along with their own tools, in the Google Pack. They currently have Norton and a spyware software included there. I don't think we'll see them adding an MS package any time soon. That could be significant counter to MS dominance of AV.

MS isn't operating against the same type of rivals it did in the past. I think there's more of an awareness and wariness of their past practices, not to mention government oversight these days. What would we all say if (when) Google comes out with its own AV scanner package?
