The 451 Group has an interesting article on the FAIL that is the AV
industry right now. I like the last paragraph especially where they
reference the "illusion of competence". As they note, having a better
metric to test the AV industry (like number of people with it installed
who get owned by malware) would largely benefit consumers as a whole. I
wouldn't look for anything here soon. But the market is smart. When a
technology doesn't work, they just move to Vista and stop buying it.
