A. The reason is open to debate. According to some people, Microsoft feared that including one would expose it to antitrust problems, particularly in Europe. Others say that it wasn’t included because Microsoft wants to be able to sell you a copy of Windows Live OneCare, which has an antivirus program as its centerpiece.
