Will use it's monopoly power to kill off all of it's competitors, even
if they offer a superior product.
Remember, Microsoft has tried to introduce antivirus before, and the
antivirus kept getting killed by the viruses. I'd like to think that
Symantic and McAffee have nothing to worry about, but I didn't think
Netscape had anything to worry about. I didn't think Lotus had
anything to worry about. I didn't think Borland had anything to worry
about. I didn't think WordPerfect had anything to worry about. I
didn't think Eudora had anything to worry about.
Maybe Microsoft will decide to let "Good" viruses through, while
killing off "bad" viruses like VM Player, Netscape, Firefox, Open
Office, and Thunderbird.
