Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 887644, member: 56053"] Once upon a time there were many web browsers -- Netscape, K-meleon, et alia. Then M$ added a free browser to Windows -- Internet Explorer (IE). Soon the other browsers withered away and IE no longer had any serious competition. Lacking competiton, IE degenerated to the state that it became a veritable honey pot for malware. The same descent to mediocrity will occur if WD causes other AVs to wither. Lacking competition, will M$ continue to spend serious $$ on keeping WD at the bleeding edge of dealing with ever-changing threats? They didn't do so for IE and (IMO) they won't do so for WD either. No competiton means an open door to mediocrity. M$ has always chosen to enter that door very shortly after it opened. Always. [/QUOTE]
