Not everyone may realize this, but it’s worth noting that all Microsoft Signature PCs (name-brand computers sold at their online and retail stores) include Microsoft Security Essentials pre-installed.

Microsoft isn’t making the mistake of competing with their own OEM customers in the PC business. However, for their new PC re-selling initiative, they are hand-selecting a number of PCs from major manufacturers (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony, Toshiba, Asus and Acer), and creating “Signature” editions.

These special editions are pre-built with standard Windows components (IE 8, etc.), but also include Windows Media Center, Internet TV for Media Center, Microsoft Security Essentials, Bing 3D Maps, Zune 4.0 and all the major Live components.

Consider the Toshiba NB205. If you buy it from Microsoft, you’ll get Microsoft Security Essentials. If you buy the exact same PC from Toshiba at the same price, you’ll get Norton Internet Security pre-installed.
