Microsoft - Security and the Other Guys

Stan Beer wrote another neat article: Microsoft brings on Armageddon for security vendors

He talks about a "day of reckoning " for the BIG boys with the release of their own security package. With the release of Windows Live Onecare this month, Microsoft has now become a formidable opponent adversary. OF course, it was only a matter of time but....

In part, this is what Stan had to say:
The day of reckoning has arrived for Symantec, McAfee, Kapersky and the myriad of other would-be anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and assorted anti-malware peddlers. Their one-time benefactor Microsoft, the company that enabled them to build thriving businesses by selling products to protect its less than perfect operating system Windows, has pulled the plug by releasing its own security package.
