Huh? bmn See Profile makes a valid point. Microsoft is new to the security software market, and they do have to prove themselves.

The interesting thing is Micrsoft now has some of the best tools in both the antivirus and antispyware markets. Proof is in the pudding, and they've bought the right mix. Now, they just need to produce a good (combination?) product.

I'm not saying that everyone should jump on-board with Microsoft's new program immediately. What I'm saying is that they purchased the top performer, and if it stays that way, why hate it? If the program goes to crap after Microsoft gets their hands on it, fine. I just don't see that happening.

That depends on who they have developing the software. If Microsoft takes the Giant software and keeps the Giant development team, it should remain at its current quality level...

However, if Microsoft takes the product and kicks the Giant developers to the curb, quality probably will suffer.
