We are moving

Its been almost 3 months since my last post. No, I have not been idling away. In fact I have put up my own website and will be moving this to the website very soon. Last couple of months have been a frenzy to catch up on a lot of things. Setting up the website, configuring the webserver, putting up content. I have not yet managed to put up enough content or design it completely and I thought I would be able to put it up very soon so I was not posting anything.

But it looks like its going to take longer than I expected to get the website going, so I will just post here.

Corporate Warfare:
We have always heard of industrial espionage but I saw corporate warfare or ambush for the first time (maybe I wasn't looking hard or at the right places) when I read that Microsoft's Antispyware product which is also known as Windows Defender (which incidently is free) flags Symantec's Norton Antivirus as a spyware. Read more about it here. How would Microsoft respond if Symantec configures its product to flag Windows Defender as a virus and prevent it from installing on computers? Would it result in a full-scale war?

Are these some signs from Microsoft to prepare us for what to expect? I hear that Microsoft is also launching an antivirus product - Windows OneCare which may be integrated in future releases of Windows (Is the Anti-trust commission listening?). So will Microsoft wield its desktop influence to force users to use its products? I hope not. But only time will tell.
