I'm usually against Microsoft bundling crap with their OS because it is always designed to conquer that particular market; be it browsers, video players, whatever.
In this case, however, I think Microsoft should bundle security software. I think it is immoral to charge the prices they do for their OS and then expect somebody to fork out yet another $40 bucks to protect against security problems.
Unfortunately, I'm sure the companies like Symantec, who have made their fortunes fixing Microsoft's problems, won't be too keen on the idea.
