    Jimmy,

    I was just wondering what your take is on Microsofts entry into the AV business?

Here's a quote from the article...

"You run it and it gives you a client, which has a Red Cross symbol and safety meter
saying if your protection is weak, fair or good, and realtime virus scanning," said one 
solution provider who has seen and worked with the trial software but asked not to 
be named. "It is a threat to McAfee."
