Microsoft OneCare Attacked and Defended

Dan Gillmor has opened up the Bayosphere, which hints at his citizen journalism initiatives that he left the San Jose Mercury News to work on. But, today, he took a shot at Microsoft that I thought was unfair. Here, Dan, We've given away a beta of our AntiSpyware program for months now (after spending lots of money to buy the company that made it). We're planning on making IE 7 freely available, which will have a ton of security work done on it. It's ironic, too, but I seem to remember you saying back when you worked at the Mercury News that one part of being a responsible large company is not tying products into Windows that would destroy competition in the marketplace. Dan, what would happen to all the anti-virus companies if Microsoft bundled in its own anti-virus software? Is that what you're now asking us to do? But, I'm trying to get an interview setup with the Reader Comments... Scobleizer blog. He works as Scobleizer
