Microsoft SHOULD include antivirus in the OS, they should have years ago.
Yes, it will make Norton, McAfee and the like totally irrelevant. Yes it will put Symantec folks out of a job _eventually_. But frankly I'd rather have an internet free of spambots, packet bots, and the like. These things should be in the OS, bundled with it, unremovable, and difficult to disable for the average user, who is likely going to be the one spreading virii unknowingly.
