So Microsoft is changing the name of its antispyware named "AntiSpyware" to "Defender." Why? Here's a direct quote from the story: "The new name, said Jason Garms, the group program manager for Microsoft's anti-malware team, 'is about what Windows will do for customers, defending them from spyware and other unwanted software.' "
Excuse me, Jason, shouldn't that be ". . . is about what Windows should have been doing for customers all along, defending them from spyware and other unwanted software"?
And while we're on the subject, let me bring up a question I asked a while ago but never got an answer to: why is Microsoft in the antispyware business at all?
