Come to think of it...

... we expect security to be built in to the software. For Windows Vista to have security built-in is a winner. Microsoft is living with the fact that their OS is the hacker's favorite target.

It is of course understandable that virus protection is separate given the value of the existing competition (Microsoft will not want McAfee and Symantec to hit them with monopoly suits) and the prospect market.

In any case, harmful technologies are available and the science behind these technologies are not exclusive to attack Microsoft products. I look forward to Apple and Linux thinking about security as well in their products.

Here we go again. Several 3rd party software companies will bite the dust making room for something less then perfect. HOW SAD! But then again greed does rule the world doesn't it? It is a sin to use common sense.
