i have wrote a comment on this topic before, till now arguments did not change my view so i would just like to repeat my words...

i wish av industry would give as much resources and time on a more centralized database and sharing of samples (between the av vendors of course). for me this current ?fight? of av industry about av testing seems to be quite useless (don kihots like), since there are few av testing bodies that are already doing quite a good job. and please don?t tell me that you (the av vendors) are already sharing the samples, for more then 10 years i am quite close to this industry and i know that this is by far not done as good as it could/should be.
