About damn time! That will spare windows users the 15 seconds it would take them to catch their own virus. But I bet the EU will sue Microsoft for being anticompetitive and preloading their own virus without giving other viruses a chance like they did with the Internet browsers.

Copying Apple again, they innovated the practice of preinstalled malware first with the iPod years ago.

Was it Windows malware that was preinstalled on iPods?

If yes, then not really copying Apple.
