Microsoft to add Antivirus to Windows 8

This is a good thing. All current antivirus vendors are snake-oil salesmen. A team of security experts working for the OS vendor itself should be responsible for this. Mind you, it is Microsoft, so the implementation will be horrendous and half baked. But it’s still a good idea on paper, and it’ll be as effective as anything else.
