Its the Microsoft way
Its a common saying in the tech business to never buy a 1.0 version of a Microsoft product. However, even the most rabid Redmond hater would have to admit, that eventually Microsoft gets it right, making improvements with every subsequent release. It looks like the same thing can be said with Microsoft's OneCare AV product. According to this article in the ITPro (which I heard about in this article on infosecsellout blog), in the latest round of testing Microsoft has made some improvements in OneCare and actually did better than they have in the past. In fact they came out ahead of AVG and Fortinet. Bad news for those two, but bad news for the rest of the AV market as well. Microsoft will continue to improve OneCare and eventually it will be a market leader. It is the Microsoft way.
For those interested, Eset's NOD32 came out on top. Good for them, I have heard good things about their product.
