The 1st season I pushed myself through. By the 2nd season it was different but actually getting a little better. There's nothing worse than a show that is cancelled before it can finish off the show, even if doing so makes less sense due to the axe. T3 was a crap rehash of T2. I look forward to Salvation, but am not expecting much, as I fear they might be taking this part of the fabled mostly unseen story down the wrong path. But I expect it cannot be worse than T3. I would've liked one more season to try close off the story.

Although I agree with some of your points, are you aware that over the last 18+ months MS "poached" some of the best malware researchers from all the major AV companies? I previously worked in the AV business for 4 years for one of the so called "established leaders" and knowing some of the people that MS now has under their wing, I'd happily use their product. (And yes I never thought I'd ever say that!) They've got some real clever people working there. Now how much input they are allowed to make I don't know, but as industry veterans if MS listens to them, they could do well market wise.
