Incidentally, why all the MS hate? Why focus on the company on the bottom, if it was any other company the headline would have been "Norton at top of antivirus heap in tests". The companies at the top are much bigger in this area and their software more widely deployed so I would think their performance would be more relevent regardless of who scored where. That's not true though. If it was one of the free antivirus programs no one would have batted an eye. The problem here is that it is an antivirus software that millions of people will end up buying. 17 Percent of a million is a lot of lost revenue and time spent repairing computers that would not have been infected had MS not been slack.
How is this rolling back fair use? You act like cable companies planned to release digital cable just so you can't record with your vcr. As is is you could just get a dvr which does have that ability and record the shows. Yes digital cable makes the vcr recording method obsolete for digital channels but honestly at this point vcrs themselves are obsolete. Also you are a bit misguided on the whole cant record multiple channels thing on the vcr. You can still record any of your basic channels just not any of the digital ones.

Because fewer of them are dumb enough to fall for it?
There is a term for that; "Manic episodes".
