Re: Nice! said by t0xic:I hate to be the wet blanket, but public companies aren't in the habit of giving away profits unless they get something in return. Every business strategy has to end with ROI for its investors. Precisely what they have to gain from this isn't immediately apparent, but I can imagine the plan will present itself in due time. Yeah, when the day comes that they give Norton away, let me know. I wonder what the catch is? Free Version is limited or something? |

You pay for what you get. No viruses, malware, etc. with Norton. |

Scuse me, but I've been getting Norton free for 8 or 9 years (FREE AFTER REBATE FOR UPGRADERS)
BTW, I stopped using Norton several years ago, but I still get it to use as a competitor's upgrade.
