My one cent: I did not use it and just recently got LavaSoft free AV (well, just for one year license). I opted for based on VB100 rates, where LavaSoft is one of current leaders. However, my friend got very satisfactory experience with MSSE discovering multiple malware instances where Symantec failed completely (not actually surprising). That has been verified for FPs, and cleared as real malware. MSSE goes not have great rate in VB100 2011/2012 tests, and I can explain that as VB100 very sophisticated tests take time, maybe a few months. While considering MS resources, MSSE can easy advance to leaders just within a couple of months.

I second with Eric's comment. I have experienced this a lot many times in my environment wherein MSSE detects and takes the corrective action against new malware whereas the market leaders like Symantec and McAfee detected it only when ticket was raised and samples were sent to them. Some people feel honored bashing Microsoft and it's products. It is a fashion :D Thanks, Kartik CISSP, CISM CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
