Popular thoughts on my mind... and in my public journal:

MSFT + Security?

Is this article a joke? MSFT wants to sell you a faulty product, and then charge you $49.95/year to fix their problems? Are they trying to usher in my prediction even more quickly that GOOG, Linux, Lenovo, OpenOffice & Mozilla will work together to provide an open-source computer with a great GUI, on a super-cheap computer (~$100) and leave only the corp. world ot MSFT and the Upper-Class BMW buying crowd to AAPL. Don't buy MSFT's product - stick to SYMC's - they're the best (and not only b/c I own a bunch of their stock).

A new security service from Microsoft Corp. will charge users $49.95 per year to better protect its Windows operating system from spyware, viruses and other Internet attacks.

Microsoft plans to release the product in early June.

Called Windows OneCare Live, the subscription service will compete with security products made by traditional Microsoft partners, including Symantec Corp. and McAfee Inc. - although the software giant insists that its aim is not to run those companies out of business.
