Microsoft has confirmed plans to bundle anti-spyware protection into Windows Vista, a move that is sure to raise eyebrows among competitors and possibly antitrust regulators. "The core Windows AntiSpyware functionality gets built in," said Greg Sullivan, lead Windows product manager. "For unmanaged environments, home and small business users, we want to provide base-level security services."

------------Spyware has nothing to do with OS security. Absolutely nothing. Do you know how 99% of spyware makes its way onto a Windows box? Internet Explorer.-----------
ROFL, sure buddy. IE isn't uninstallable from XP. Even in the later versions of windows(pre xp) it's still there as part of the OS.
That's why you can get IE page script errors in MS office. ROFL
------------What Microsoft should do is dramatically improve IE's security-------------
Bingo. Being as they've integrated IE with the OS as far as they have, it's the same thing essentially.
IE is no longer it's own application. Hasn't been for quite some time now.
-----------which they are doing with Vista.----------
..........many broken promises later.
------------Keeping a Windows box in top-notch shape is much easier than most of you Linux trolls think----------
Why even go that far? Just use something that actually works right out of the box. All I need to know is my productivity apps.
