I’d certainly wait for Service Pack 1 before using anything MS.

Of course, no antimalware product is perfect, especially not against the latest attack programs. George Ledin, a computer science professor at Sonoma State University in California, pointed out that dozens of new malware programs appear daily, and it takes a long time to tag these new threats so the software can defeat them. “By the time they put it in the catalog, it is months old,’’ Ledin said. As a result, thousands of computers with the latest antivirus software are compromised anyway.
If they need this, I guess Win7 will still be a high-vulnerability sys to viri. That's a shame, hope springs eternal . . .

Still, it's a step up. And at least now Microsoft is paying some of the cost of the egregious vulnerability of the OS it sells. That still leaves the societal cost of the botnets of Windows machines, tho.
