Great news! Microsoft is giving us a free anti-virus solution by the name of Microsoft Security Essentials.

Now I could do some sour grapes writing here but I will leave that to the Apple Camp. To be honest I am thrilled to see the software giant release a free anti-virus solution.

Microsoft Security Essentials Beta

The article from ZDnet states “Microsoft is targeting MSE at customers who are unwilling and unable to pay for security software.” Well at least they recognize that there are a lot of people who can just barely afford to get their family a PC. The whole virus boondoggle centered on Windows PCs vrs Apples UNIX like OS got out of hand eons ago and has made many unscrupulous bastards rich. So help me god if I ever got within 10 feet of the guy that invented MyWebSearch…

So now Microsoft is tossing us a free Anti-Virus, firewall combo. This is great news and might do a little to help resolve the security concerns that most people get in their minds when they think of the Windows product. But if Microsoft is really trying to help restore faith. They should look into BMighty.com‘s article  An Open Letter To Microsoft: Why you need to make Windows 7 a free upgrade from Vista by Fredric Paul.
