And the Microsoft Hits just keep on coming

Microsoft Security Essentials loses it’s Certification. It comes in with a whopping score of 10.5 out of 18. It got a staggering 1.5 points for protection. That’s simply shocking. You might as well use nothing and free up the resources of this piece of crap. Norton Internet Security comes in 3rd spot with 15 out of 18. That makes me feel pretty confident the $20 a year I spend on protection is worth the effort.

Like I said, you get what you pay for, and Free software isn’t always worth it.

Also, the blame game for Windows 8 is in full swing. OEMs are saying it’s not their fault Windows 8 sales are sluggish. I find that highly amusing. The OS is the lowest priced update Microsoft has ever put out the door and still people are cool to it. A copy of Windows 7 Pro is $160. A copy of Windows 8 Pro is $65. They can’t even give it away…
