Are there any plans to offer an API to other AV vendors to allow their patches to be released? The chance of them using it is between zero and none but I was just curious for environments that aren't pure Microsoft. Are there any plans to integrate McAfee's HBSS with System Center R3 or System Center 2010/2011?

We love Forefront security, it works well with all of our machines. The protection does what it is supposed to without removing or restricting files without notification.

For our home users we set up with the /nomom option. This is great that it does not require additional licensing.

But for our corporate users the management and intergration with our active directory and WSUS is very practicle and makes management a snap.

I understand the decision to integrate forefront with management tools, but keep in mind that not all businesses that have deployed FCS are running SCCM. Speaking for my own installed base of FCS, some of my customers are running SCCM, others are running SCE, some don't have any management tools and some have third party management tools. Will there be any solution for those customers not running SCCM?
