In an ordinary collection of business computers (which means they're
mostly running Windows), do you think that AV is some sort of luxury 
extra?

In most cases, AV is the equivalent of the automotive industry product
'Bondo'.  It's there to patch over the places where the original product
has large holes.  Now if we could just fix the fact that 90% of people
out there are driving the computer equivalent of 'Bondo buckets'.....
