    No. It is not free. But there are tons of free stuff from ‘M@soft’, like one of the best FREE antivirus solutions: Microsoft Security Essentials….

    MSE didn’t come free, you have to buy Win/OS genuine license first before use it, won’t be applied without it (M$oft never release “anything” under the GNU/GPL)

    Well the only things from Microsoft that are free are your Windows PC OS updates…. :)
