I like it. First Microsoft invents an OS that is easily infected with whatever plague one can invent, now they are trying to decide whether the system is defended enough.
A number of products such as antivirus tools, firewalls etc are NOT properly recognized by Windows. The result is obvious - if you use, say, ClamWin which is free and NOT recognized by Windows, you will be blocked from Internet.
I hope this idiotic proposal will make some people switch from Windows to anything else, more sane.
Botnet problem has the only solution: exterminate Windows as class, that's for a start. Microsoft was and is pormoting the idea that any incompetent user should be able to use computers. Now we see the consequences of that.
