MICROSOFT recently announced that it would be releasing Windows Live OneCare, a security product targeted at the consumer and small- to medium-sized business markets, which places it in direct competition with Symantec.
“I’m not convinced that just because Microsoft enters the market, it’s a foregone conclusion that they’ll win. Quite the contrary,” Symantec chairman and chief executive officer John Thompson argued.
He said Symantec’s strategy would be to “out-innovate” Microsoft.
“We know more about security than Microsoft ever will. We’ll make sure we use the strength of our global brand to leverage – we protect more people from more online threats than anyone in the world.
“Our brand is synonymous with security. Microsoft is synonymous with a lot of things, but security is not one of them,” he added.
