BetaNews approached Sophos, which is a Microsoft "Gold Partner," and a member of a group that Symantec's Trollope characterized yesterday for the AP as receiving privileged information first, at the expense of rivals. (Symantec was a certified partner with Microsoft earlier this year, and that relationship does not appear to have been officially terminated, despite recent circumstances.)

"I think that the industry as a whole is trying to come to terms with exactly what it is that Microsoft is going to accomplish through its introduction of PatchGuard," Ron O'Brien, senior security consultant with Sophos, told BetaNews.
