Matt, on MS security esentials, when you say it's free..... do they then get in your face every day to buy the uptown whooptidoo version which will do handsprings while it adds x y and z to your protection? Just curious. I have a near pathological aversion to marketing from corporations. I excommunicated TV in 1983.

Laptop PCs are the new TV seems to me. Maybe the macs do it too mine is a G5 desktop and the only marketing I've noticed is within I tunes. And I'd have to click on a link to actually view the blather. But they never bother me with popups and warnings of dire consequences if I don't BUY NOW!!
