Forefront Client reaches beta
Microsoft corporate security product goes into public test.
Microsoft's long-awaited corporate security suite, Forefront Client Security, has been released to public
beta. The new product, combining the anti-virus and anti-spyware technologies acquired by Microsoft in recent
years, is aimed at the business market and is expected to be competitively priced.
Two Forefront server-side products, based on Sybari's Antigen and integrating AV engines from
several vendors, are already in beta, and volume-licence release has been scheduled for December. The beta of the
client comes somewhat late, with the full release expected in June 2007 rather than the January of earlier predictions.

Forefront Client site, with links to the beta download area, is
