This news is worse than when you dropped WinFS Microsoft! You caved in to
lazy Norton and you are going to give them access to the Windows Kernel?
Well there goes all those claims of water tight security, over the next few
days you'll see what a bad decision this is as every computer 'expert' whines
about the pure stupidity of letting Norton (and other lazy AV companies) into
the kernel!
If Kaspersky, Avast and etc. don't need it, why would you change it for
Norton? |

Microsoft decided that it was in their best interest to do so or risk
breaking European and/or South Korean anticompetition behavior laws.
Remember that because of this you have a choice of how to control your
security. Either you choose Microsoft or a third party. It's as simple as
that.

Right. So now Symantec has the api's. Do you think that Symantec will
protect Microsoft property any better than their own. Symantec programs are
the most pirated and hacked of any company.
Now, Joe Jones gets disgruntled and leaves Symantec after a big argument
with management, and he takes those api's with him. Two day later they are
on the internet, for all hackers to obtain.
There goes security of any kind.
