Morro-Microsoft’s new Anti Malware, First of its type for cloud computing

The first of the products of the cloud is going to hit the market from Microsoft and it is an anti-malware product called Morro with which Microsoft is testing the cloud readiness of net users. It is termed and being publicized as free. It is not free in the conventional sense that you can down load and install it on your system.
It is free in the sense that the service is being provided by free.
Considering the amount of malware that is in circulation it would be embarrassing for Microsoft if conservative consumers would have viewed the product suspiciously if it was a free down load.
But Microsoft is killing many birds with a stone.
To use this software your surfing data is processed through Microsoft’s data centres read “cloud” for presence of any virus or malware.
This will give Microsoft an edge over its competition. Depending on the number of users who opt for this service not only will Microsoft keep an eye on the evolving malware by keeping abreast of the developments it can also hone up its skills in developing anti malware code that it can incorporate into the product. Then there are security conscious big firms and if they like the idea of real time developments in the spyware department by Microsoft by letting it look after their security then it is a first toe hold Microsoft is getting in the cloud and the strategy sure is that the rest will follow.
It would be fascinating to see how many users of the net will take this free product and place the trust in Microsoft. More than the numbers it is established businesses and concerns who will be willing that matters.
