And if you really think about it, most business users have virus protection, and it's malware that presents the big problem for home users. The changes Microsoft is making (making it difficult to log in as administrator, including Defender) are probably enough. Congrats on picking up a good piece of news in a timely manner.

Remember what happened with the bundling of IE and other products? May be that some states or contries would not allow this type of bundling.

Given the increase in security and safety they discussed I expected to see the new and improved firewall, Microsoft Defender, Anti-Spyware and anti-virus all rolled up. I would have thought that it would all fit in perfectly with Windows Update and Microsoft Update functionality. That really surprised me about the release.
