Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Fails Another Anti-Virus Test

In looking at Blackbird’s note from an inverse perspective, he said that his company’s testing reveals that 99.9967 percent of customers were not affected by malware that Security Essentials did not catch. And of those that got through, only 6 percent of those even affected customers or the performance of their computers.

“We know from feedback from customers that industry testing is valuable, and their tests do help us improve,” Blackbird said. “We’re committed to reducing our 0.0033 percent margin to zero.”

At the end of Thursday’s market activity, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock was up 21 cents on the day to $27.25 a share.

What do you think? In looking at the test and the rebuttal, does Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) have a point, or is this just sour grapes? How do you think this affects Microsoft and its Windows operating system going forward? We’d love your feedback.
