Microsoft buys Sybari Software ...

Microsoft Corp. today announced that it has signed definitive agreements to acquire Sybari Software Inc., a leading provider of security products. Microsoft will use this acquisition to further provide its enterprise customers with new solutions to help protect them from malicious software. Microsoft, please ... it's not always 'buying' you have to do, please close the gaps and make your software more secure by creating a more secure OS. But indeed ... definitely again another move to watch our for! I'm looking at it as a spectator of a chess game... if you know what I mean. And oh yes ... what happens with traditionally non-MS platforms (AIX, Linux, Sun, Lotus Notes)? Likely to be abandonded?
