Anti-malware company Symantec has accused Microsoft of withholding key information about its upcoming Vista OS, in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage in the security market. Symantec claimed this week that Microsoft is refusing to hand over the APIs for Windows Defender, its anti-spyware product which will be included in Vista. Without the APIs, Symantec claims that it isn't able to ensure that its own security products are compatible with Vista. Microsoft, though, insisted on Wednesday afternoon that the APIs are now available.

Linux has to be better marketed.And in order to do that it needs showstoppers,preferrably facts.Instead of seeking direct confrontation with MS and throwing mudd
Just explains one thing : how do you launch any app that MS has (like an OS, an Office suite, a browser, ...) without being in direct confrontation with MS, exactly ?
And what is "throwing mud" exactly ? Answering to accusations of being a terrorist, communist, anti-american, cancer, ... ?
How do you call people (Gates, Ballmer) that say such things about others ?
Just so that I understand if you live in fantasies or in the same world as me.
