When it comes to making a name for itself in the industry, besides Microsoft, Symantec has become
synonymous with home security products for over the years. Look around at any computer store or office supplies store, you will see Symantec products everywhere.
But does popularity mean that the product is good? Heck no, far from it. As anyone can see if you even read a little bit of technology news, hackers target Windows products whether it is the operating system itself, Internet Explorer or even Office, since these products are quite popular the payoff is bigger.
Norton products are in the same boat, Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security are quite popular amongst its fans, but even in the recent past, users of Norton Antivirus have been targetted by attacks as well.

Microsoft, in stiff competition with Google, has been thinking that it should release its Microsoft Works as an online tool. Google, which has an online word processing program and now spreadsheets is finding it hard to compete.
Microsoft will now face a “two-sided” sword in the respect that Google could be gaining popularity from its free offerings, but if Microsoft releases an online version of Word and Excel how would the company make money? Microsoft Office is the biggest money maker for Microsoft and offering a fully compatible free online version could hurt itself and might not be worth the risk.
