Giving it away to the public beta testers -- yes. But I can promise you it will be included in "VISTA". Then you have to pay for when you pay for "VISTA". I can promise you MS does nothing that doesn't bring a profit. I removed it when the def files defined my anti-virus (Trend-Micro) and my firewall (Sygate) as spyware and shut both of them down and tried to remove them. Wouldn't try it again. If forced to use "VISTA", in the future, I can promise to disable MSAS, as well as any of the so called protection afforded by their "firewall".
I am not anti-Microsoft, just a customer wanting what he was promised and paid for ( 200 bucks this time around). A safe, reliable OS, that doesn't crash all the time.
XP is not there yet. I don't think "VISTA" ( VISTA what was billy boy thinking when he approved at) will be any different.

And why shouldn't MS look to make a profit. It's called free enterprise. It's the way we businesses operate. There are no free rides in this life. I don't blame MS in the least for looking for ways to make money.
