,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft to drop OneCare and launch free security software
|
| What about Forefront, and security products from other vendors?

Apparently they realised that selling 'security' separately is wrong.
Why is security still a 'product' and not a trait/feature that's bolted on?
Microsoft Realizes No One Wants To Pay Microsoft To Fix Its Own Security Flaws
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in 2005, when Microsoft was first mulling the idea of offering security
| software, we noted that the company was between something of a rock and a
| hard place. If it decided to charge for the software, people would accuse the
| company of trying to get people to pay to protect themselves from the
| security vulnerabilities in Microsoft's own software.

Microsoft shipped OneCare unfinished?
,----[ Quote ]
| Since shipping in May, OneCare has failed industry tests and exposed
| users to attack because of a security flaw in the antivirus engine.
| The application also incorrectly flagged Gmail as a virus and in some
| cases quarantined or even deleted complete in-boxes when a single
| e-mail was laden with a virus.
