Recently, Neowin has acquired some insider information
stemming from a Windows One Care (WOC) beta chat. Below
is a snippet of a question asked by a user:

QUOTE
User: Will Anti-spyware survive as a separate app once
Windows One Care (WOC) is released?

(Ms Expert Name): Your MS antispwyare beta has an
expiration date, beyond which it will no longer be
supported. WOC does have plans to integrate Antispyware
in the future

What this means, is that its very likely that the
development of the current Microsoft antispyware program
will be dropped until it becomes integrated into Windows
One Care. Due to the fact that Windows One Care will be
subscription based, the Microsoft antispyware tool will
no longer be free. Users will be required to pay annually
to use Microsoft's Anti-Spyware tool along with some
other Helpful Windows tools.

Your lack of proper quotes adds to the already incorrect and misleading
information.
The reference would have helped also:
http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=29891&category=main
According to the link, the MS expert quote ends at "...integrate Antispyware
in the future"
The commentary by the poster begins at "What this means, is..."
That is nothing more than a commentary by an uninformed individual.
There is nothing to suggest that person has any information to support the
claims made.

Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta is...Beta.
Typically Microsoft has time limits for pre-release software including Beta.
So the fact the Beta expires means nothing other than it will
expire...nothing more.
Other than the usual fantasies of Neowin, there is no other reference that I
know of for this ridiculous claim.
Typical journalism for him along with the FUD.

People should honour the disclosure agreements so as not to make a fool of
themselves by improperly disclosing partial information.
