If you read Bill's message from the conference he said the
new version of IE, which will be released for preliminary
testing this summer, will have new protections against
viruses, spyware and phishing scams. Now, will this be in
adittion to the stand alone Anti-Spyware app? Or will
everything be incorporated into the Browser? Also, will
this Anti-Spyware be strong enougn to play in the corporate
environment?
 
Check the FAQ, and read the press release and, ideally, the transcript of
the speech.

This is what I think I heard:

There will be a free standalone antispyware application available to
licensed Windows users--probably Windows 2000 and up.

There will be a (for cost) managed antispyware application for use in
enterprise.

There will be an IE7, which will have improvements over IE6, for Windows XP
SP2 customers.

Whether these things remain standalone or are further integrated into the OS
in Longhorn remains to be seen, I think.
