It Microsoft is truly going to be revolutionary, they should not charge a cent for the Onecare security but include it as standard to the package. I don't believe that bundling AV in products is new. It is new for Microsoft but not a new strategy, simply a matter of time. It is more bungling of security than bundling.
If Microsoft really wants to get ahead of the bandwagon, make it free with the Office Suite. We shouldn't have to pay the AV tax anymore considering it is their OS and suite.
Including AV within starts to put security where it should be;built in.
