Back to topic: Wait and see when Apple will release their tablet. I'm saying that because i've read about the " touch-screen capabilities." of windows 7, and yet the vast majority of users will use Windows on a regular PC without touch screen. Windows gets out a touch screen capable OS (that few will use) and Apple releases a Tablet 
Think of it!

Wonderful OS indeed.

Seriously man... the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) has been out for months now. Why do you still run a Release Candidate (RC) if it's giving you trouble?

Uh... no. Fortunately, Microsoft released "Security Essentials". It's a 100% free AV and AS suite.
Before you write it off as crap, Microsoft actually has the best reputation-based and signature-based protections in the browser space - IE8 (due to the wealth of reporting from users). Security Essentials will be just as strong an offering due to the amazing bulk of badness it collects and acts on. I am running it on my machines.

Hopefully it's not fail like OneCare was.

I'm looking forward to seeing some benchmarks and statistics on it's scanning depth.

Yeah. Hopeful indeed. I'm encouraged by how soundly IE8 is able to dominate the reputation-based protections aspect of browser security. There's such a large volume of IE users that MS is able to collect the largest and most coherent view of the global browser-based threats that are out there. I think the same dynamic (ubiquity) can be leveraged to make this AV/AS product quite competitive if not outright dominant.
