Microsoft Sweeps into Security

Microsoft is entering the online security market, currently dominated by Symantec and McAfee. Microsoft OneCare plans to use their trusted brand name to draw consumers. OneCare's selling point is a low-cost and easy to use product that provides consumers with antivirus, anti-spyware, and firewall protection. Given Microsofts dominance in desktop computers, the new software is anticipated to have a healthy number of consumers.
I believe its a smart move for Microsoft to get into the security game. It seems like a natural move for Microsoft because security is something that should automatically be available for Microsoft products. Who better to provide security for a Microsoft product than Microsoft itself.

"The consumer experience is going to be a lot easier...OneCare is like
a pit crew [taking care of your car] for your computer."
