One thing I have not seen mentioned here is that Microsoft did acquire RAV Antivirus recently including the people associated with it. This should help them create a decent AV. However, I do think they should give users an option of whether to install it or not. I for one will stick to my Kaspersky Antivirus rather than upgrade to SP2 if that is not an option.
Why don't we make upstream providers responsible for the garbage that gets thrown at us? Having owned an ISP since 1997, I have dealt with numerous upstream providers. Most, if not all of them, outlined traffic that was acceptable as well as unacceptable coming from our network. Maybe if the law were to hold them ultimately responsible it would put some of the spammers out of business. I know this is naive thinking, but hey, it would be nice to know that the upstreams care about their bandwith being abused and not just about the $$$.
