Personally I think Microsoft wasted their money with their built-in security software, and should have just ignored it. In fact, they're wasting money pouring resources into security patches. They should just leave security holes wide open until they feel like getting around to fixing them, if ever. Think about it: all this stuff is costing them money, and that reduces their profitability. What is it gaining them? Nothing. Why? Simple: if customers get pissed off, what are they going to do, switch to Linux or Mac? Maybe a few, but the vast majority will just put up with it and gripe and complain. They're never going to leave Windows, so it would make sense for Microsoft to screw them over.
