I cannot confirm from the below, if it has antimalware capabilities - all it
seems to talk about is AV and antispyware.

http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Is there anywhere that it gives a detailed description of its security
protection capabilities?

i think microsoft should make its antivirus free, since it will protect
their own Operating Systems, not others. not linux, not mac, not bsd, it
will boost their own OS market if done correctly, isn't it?

I think they should sell us the MSSE and give us the operating system free.

Antivirus protects *everyone* regardless of OS. Malware is *everybody's*
problem and everybody benefits if it is made more difficult to
implement. If malware infiltrates your trusted network, don't assume
that only your Windows boxes will be affected. Malware can abuse
functionality once within a trusted network - and spew malware to other
computers by using what you consider to be a non-compromised machine's
clock-cycles.

I do think AV on a MS server OS should still be able to detect Linux
viruses for instance. It shouldn't matter what OS the server is
running - all of the clients (various OSes) should be protected from
being served malware. A Linux mailserver might want to filter out
Windows E-mail vector worms even though they wouldn't affect Linux
directly.

...of course, this is 'old school' - back when prevention was the focus
rather than clean-up. Any clean-up would have to be targeted to the
affected OS's software.
