It’s almost as if no one in the Media, or for that matter, any reporter, makes any connections with the facts. As an example:
Connecting these two articles,
Mac OS vulnerabilities increased 200 percent McAfee rains on Apple’s smug parade
and again
Cold water thrown on Apple TV claim
Leave it to McAfee to rain on those new television commercials Apple Computer is running about its virus-free computing.
and this article?
Vista to hit anti-spyware, firewall markets
New security features in Windows Vista will largely eliminate the need to run separate antispyware or firewall software, according to a new analyst report.
Spyware-killing Vista could take out rivals
The first two articles, while feeding on themselves, never makes the connection that McAfee, or for that matter any anti-virus company is facing elimination at the hands of the Microsoft Monopoly Monster. And that for them to survive they, like President Bush, must find a new enemy, and a new platform that needs their protection. It has very little to do with Apple needing virus protection. And everything to do with scare tactics as a marketing tool.
