Considering how horribly awful Windows Defender is at catching even the most basic malware, you would have thought Microsoft would have incorporated this kind of stuff earlier. Maybe now non-IT folks will be a bit more protected.

Windows Defender ATP is for Windows 10 Enterprise.... It has nothing to do with Windows 10 Home or Pro and thus, nothing to do with consumers. Unless MS decides to migrate Defender ATP to Windows 10 Home or Pro, it's meaningless for the "non-IT folks"....

Why does Microsoft need to buy and then completely destroy one of the most successful security companies in existence?
