Trial balloons continue on anti-virus

Microsoft released another trial balloon in the last week over what it should do with its anti-virus technology. The company is dragging its feet on a decision because it really has no good options here. Microsoft basically has four choices. None is particularly good.
Microsoft's initial approach has been to use the GeCAD assets to improve hooks for A-V vendors in the marketplace and develop Windows and Office to be less prone to virus attacks. This is the approach the anti-virus vendors would like to see most, as it preserves their market.
