Well Microsoft, in its neverending bid to clean out your pockets, has now claimed 15% market share with its OneCare security offering in the first month.
It was price — OneCare lists for $49.95 annually as a three-license package, but retails for as little as $19.99 at outlets such as Best Buy and Amazon.com — that drove it to pinch such a piece of the security pie, said Chris Swenson, director of software industry analysis at NPD.
They have been accused of predatory pricing but, with Symantec no where to be seen with their rumoured offering it’s little wonder that Microsoft is flooding the market space.
As for me…I’ll stick my Mac thanks. 🙂
