Earlier this week I read this Swedish article about how AVs would lose market shares to Microsoft because of how much harder it would be to circumvent the new security features in Windows 8.

The security features mentioned was Smartscreen, URL reputation, Filesystem filter and the new Windows Defender.
Microsoft is really good on keeping there OS updated, but they still leave allot of issues untouched and they cant fix all the problems on installed programs, how much they want to.
Thats why it was especially interesting to see this article in the Hacker News

I'm looking forward too see what will revealed on 24 Nov.
I see a future for AV, but they need to focus on IPS, FIM (File Integrity Monitoring), White Listing and DLP. And they need to loose the name AV.
