Intel to buy McAfee

I did not see this one coming. I do see some reasons for it and some benefits, just didn’t expect to see it.

McAfee makes some really nice products for the enterprise. ePolicy Orchestrator is something I really like, use daily, and have used for almost ten years. McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 7.0+ has been leaps and bounds better than 4.5. 8.7i is wonderful. Some of the features I use are custom file access denial rules to block read and write to PST files. This allowed for PST to be completely eradicated in my shop and for us to meet our email policies. ePolicy’s rogue system detection is another amazing piece.

I suppose processor based anti malware could be interesting. Time will tell. You have my attention Intel. McAfee already has my business.
