McAfee Reveals 'OneCare' Competitor, Falcon

May 31, 2006

McAfee announced today an all-in-one security subscription service codenamed Falcon. Falcon will contain all major security suite components as well as PC backup and tune-up tools. It's essentially a competitor to Microsoft's Windows OneCare, expected soon, and Symantec's Genesis (also a codename), due out this fall.

Symantec has a lawsuit against Microsoft based on allegde “misappropiation of intellectual property.”

<sarcasm>

It seems so uncharacteristic to steal ideas from other companies:    Netscape Navigator
Eudora Pro
Stacker (as mentioned above)
Quarterdeck QEMM and Max386

</sarcasm>

What blows my mind is how Microsoft continues to get away with this.
