Microsoft did an about-face yesterday, agreeing to make it easier for customers of its forthcoming Vista operating system to use outside security vendors, such as those who make popular antivirus and anti-spyware programs.Until now, Microsoft had planned to block those companies from installing their products in the deepest levels of the new operating system, which is scheduled for release early next year.
Symantec spokesman Cris Paden said the company was encouraged by Microsoft's announcement, but noted that it had not received any technical details about the plan.
Microsoft said it is still gathering information from the software security vendors and will respond case by case.
