Check the anti-virus software that you're using right now.  It probably either Norton or McAfee.  Symantec took a beating... sounds like a buying opportunity to me.  Remember that everyone's been holding off on their PC purchases b/c of the Vista.  And for those who will be upgrading... you'll need a new copy of this anti-virus software.  Institutions and home.  It's a nice play on technology upgrade.



I also realize that many consumers, especially college students and hs students, use pirated version of the software.  With the technology moves forward, internet access is become a standard in our homes.  This means software companies will likely require an online registration.  It's hard to side step that.
