I disagree. This is a home use product just as OneCare was. I do not believe that they will charge for MSE at any point. It should never be put into a business environment due to the lack of any centralized control. They already have the paid product in Forefront which is a very good product and getting much better with the pending release of Stirling. They won't put anything into MSE that makes it impossible to install on a business system, just as AVG and others don't have a true lock out for business systems. If you ever need support during an actual virus outbreak and Microsoft finds that you are protecting your business with MSE I would bet that their answer will be essentially "We're sorry, but that is not supported. Have a nice day." Tim

I think they will allow it in business for the first 6 months to a year while they get their stats. Then they will start a paid for service for at 'home' and that will pull the at business out of the equation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Trent" <[email protected]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 12:23 PM Subject: RE: MSE is released... > Yeah, there's no question about that.
