Symantec says Vista will "reduce consumer choice"

Paden’s beef is with the new Windows Security Center, an update to the control panel that made its first appearance with Windows XP’s Service Pack 2. He claims that the interface comes with default programs to handle virus protection, a software firewall, and a spyware scanner, and that the user can install replacements for these applications but not access them through the security center program.

Ahh, Symantec stirring the pot again. Though, they may have some valid points. However, the default Windows Vista as far as I know, doesn’t offer AV protection. If it did, it may reduce consumer choice, but it may actually be a good thing. Just not for Symantec.
