Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools

[mikron15]

CNN reports that Microsoft may charge extra for security software (http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/12/16/microsoft.spyware.ap/index.html). So first they edge their competition out of the browser market, then they tie IE into the OS so tightly that a crash in IE can crash the computer, and then they make IE so vulnerable that just using it is hazardous to the typical computer's health, and now they want to CHARGE users to fix it?

I bet they bought adaware out, I use spybot when I am in windows, I normally use linux. SSH Tunnels are so useful :)
