Hi. I believe this article about a discontinued software product lacks [[WP:N|notability]]. Best regards, [[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 21:55, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

::Dear Codename Lisa, please disclose the competing antivirus company which you work for! I strongly suspect that to be the case. MS FPE is indeed a notable product, with many millions of seats licenced worldwide. It is not discontinued, it remains officially supported with malware/spam fingerprint database updates and potential security patches until April 2015, but no new software versions or new feature-adding service packs will be published from Sep 2012. This kind of "extroduction" from the market realistically gives current operators 1 to 1.5 years to move on to other Microsoft in-house offerings (typically Forefront Online Protection for Exchange a.k.a. the new Exchange Online Protection) or buy into solutions from any 3rd party IT-sec vendor.

*'''Merge and redirect''' to [[Microsoft ForeFront]] as lacking sourcing, claim of notability and awards. If in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources is added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page.
