I for one believe this protection should be cheaper and if Microsoft wants to offer it for free which in turn drives down the prices of competing products then that's great for consumers.
I'd expect all the Microsoft haters out there to cry foul but in the end Microsoft has provided a platform which like it or not has a massive surface area for attack and they should be protecting their customers for free.
Of coarse it'd be better if the problems didn't exist in the first place and I believe they're addressing this even if it is not as fast as we'd prefer, but for the interim a free product from them to help protect us is a great idea.
Thumbs up, Microsoft.
