images/news/security.jpgMorro is being marketed by the Windows Client team, but is being developed by Microsoft’s Forefront security team and is based on the Forefront antivirus/anti-malware engine. Microsoft’s reasoning for going from a paid subscription service to a free Morro client: By getting Morro on all consumer PCs, especially those whose users may not have the money or interest to run antivirus/anti-malware software, that it will be able to better secure the entire Windows ecosystem,

It sounds as though Microsoft may have told some bloggers/press about its rollout plans for Morro under non-disclosure. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Softies deliver the Morro beta in the coming days.
