I can see their point about AV being reactionry, but they don't run ANY AV? So do they soley trust their email gateways to filter emails with viruses? Its an interesting article, but despite their reasonings.....I'm going to keep using AV!

McAfee came with my laptop - but it's firewall drove me nuts (yes, I know this program has changed, I just compiled it, and yes it can access the internet) and I ended up disabling it. Our clients use various virus detection tools, AVG is very common. Many anti-virus tools have become very bloated and can be quite slow to interact with - Norton springs to mind.
