Hello, At the risk of injecting a note of seriousness into the discussion, has anyone ever done a systematic review of analysts' reports on anti-virus/malware/threat or "endpoint" protection software to see how accurate the predictions are? I wonder if there is a measurable way to quantify that analysts are X% accurate over N years, or some other type of proof?
