If this gets bundled with Vista then surely it spells the end for Norton & McAfee?
Would you trust Microsoft with your security though?

Didnt they try bundle this sort of stuff before and got stopped because of unfair trading. It will probably be an extra cost.

Not only would i not trust Microsoft EVER.

They are now going to sell a program to secure Windows. Nice one Microsoft.

When you purchase vista, you will get a 'token' which can be used for free to get the full version, or you can purchase it seperately. Its not in-built

I would almost trust MS for security than any other company out there.

And what's wrong with them securing their own product?
