Microsoft Morro, anti-virus or honeynet?

|
The Forefront team, the team responsible for Microsoft's security products for businesses, is happy with the coming of Morro, the new and free anti-virus for Microsoft Windows that will be released next year. The reason is that they think it will have a positive impact on Microsoft's business products as it "will allow Microsoft to capture even more threat intelligence from customers as more people use the free anti-malware solution" and that they can use this information in their "security research and the development of signatures and protection capabilities in Forefront".

Wait... did I read that correctly? Doesn't that sound like a free honeynet for Microsoft's own purposes?
