Why isn't Alwil a Windows Vista RC1 Antivirus Provider (yet)?

Thanks Vlk. Fully answered. :slight_smile:

The real answer is, that after completing the application for that listing, we discovered that we were probably not going to get a listing due to some specific non-technical and marketing requirements that we did not meet;

And rather waste time on pushing the RC1 listing - which. as has been pointed out, is about to be withdrawn, I would better concentrate my efforts on getting on the next Microsoft supported web listing against the full product.

Hope that puts it all to rest :slight_smile:

Wow… the big boss ;D

Hope you can meet them soon. Can I suppose that Grisoft, as being at that page, means that it meets the requirements?

Sure…

Can you take a curiosity of mine?
Some weeks ago there were a big software (technology) meeting in Madrid (Spain).
There were a lot of antivirus manufacturers, specially NOD32 and Grisoft that seem to be eating a big piece of the cake from the ‘big’ ones.
They said that ‘other’ small antivirus companies are in bad economical situation?
Can you say us a little about market share of antivirus? I’m very curious about that and I found nothing on Google… nothing relevant and trustable :wink:

Let’s take this offline… :wink:

I hope you consider my email off-line enough… :wink:
I can’t believe what I’ve heard from that guy… but all that I’ve found in Internet is advertisement and marketing… we’re better, we’re great, we’re the big ones… I wish I could know the truth ;D

You can’t believe what you’ve heard from WHICH guy? :slight_smile:

I’ll send you an email :wink:
