Computerate Chatter: Microsoft Antivirus - Sybari Purchase Will Help Secure Microsoft Shops ...

Computerate Chatter was one of the first sites in the blogosphere to report this purchase and has been doing a good job updating us on developments throughout the day on this. This purchase is seen as a direct threat to major vendors like McAfee and Symantec. Symantec has even gotten into the act, suggesting the purchase is incomplete to provide a viable product. How does this fit with earlier security acquisitions? This purchase is about the server side of things and it sounds to me like Symantec Mail Security for Exchange may be an endangered species.
