I'm not sure what to think about MS entering yet another market. It's perfectly normal to feel a little unsure and worried about another product integrating itself into my OS, but they did a fairly decent job with Service Pack 2's (for XP) firewall. Also, who better to indentify unwanted changes in the OS than the people who built the OS? We'll see. They would do really well to make sure that it can be easily managed in the Corporate environment. Since I'm far too busy to play with this new addition right now, if anyone has any comments about MS AntiSpyware, please let me know.
