I'm no Microsoft fan, but if they include spyware blocking software with Windows, won't there be another anti-trust case from other vendors?
It's the same as them previously buying the anti-virus software company. If they include that then people will complain.
Surely the best thing for them to do is to make Windows more secure in the first place so it's harder for spyware etc to install and work?
If they did then they wouldn't need to buy specialist software houses to sort out the problems with their own OSes.
