Why Microsoft is not bundling free software in Windows 7

According to foreign media reports, on October 22, 2009, Microsoft released a new generation of client operating system Windows 7, and Windows 7 has triggered a very hot holiday. Sales hot season. In CES 2010, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that Microsoft's Windows 7 sales were very good and drove PC sales in the market. So, since Windows 7’s sales are so good, why isn’t Microsoft bundled with free anti-virus tools in Windows 7?

Q: Many people think that Windows 7 urgently needs anti-virus software, but Microsoft has not bundled free anti-virus tools into Windows 7, why?

A: Microsoft does provide a range of free security tools, including anti-virus software - "Microsoft Security Essentials", which can run on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7. Why doesn't Microsoft bundle "Microsoft Security Essentials" directly into the Windows operating system? The author is daring to speculate, most likely because of "anti-monopoly."

In order to maintain their legal behavior, Microsoft has spent a lot of money, such as the bundle of Windows operating system and Internet Explorer. It is conceivable that if Microsoft bundles anti-virus or other security programs directly into the Windows operating system, it will also trigger an "anti-monopoly" investigation.

Q: So, will Microsoft bundle anti-virus software into the Windows operating system to make it easier for users? Will it hinder market competition and destroy innovation?

A: Certainly. It is possible.

Q: What kind of file type is the MHtml file? How to open it?

A: MHTML is a dumb HTML, a web page file format that can be used not only to store Html content of web pages, but also to link to external resources such as Flash animations and Java applets.

Users can use a web browser to open MHTML files, but not all web browsers support MHTML. Microsoft IE, Opera, and Mozilla Firefox support the MHtml format.

Q: After implementing the Vista to Windows 7 upgrade, can the paid anti-virus software in Vista, such as McAfee anti-virus software, be transferred to Windows 7?

A: Like Vista, Windows 7 does not include anti-virus software. Users need to install anti-virus software themselves.

In general, almost all anti-virus software provided by companies can run on Windows 7 as long as it is suitable for Vista. If you have already purchased an anti-virus software, the license will remind you to uninstall the software in Vista and reinstall it in Windows 7.
