MS AntiSpyware


Recommended Posts

Oh, come on guys of course its not true !

Microsoft Antispyware was actually made by Giant Software Inc and rebranded by Microsoft when they aquired the company, the program was originally called Giant Antispyware and was available long before Microsoft released it.

Firstly, read the article a Microsoft Representative would not say ' Tough **** ' and secondly the program is not offered as an automatic update.

I really do hope that none of you actually believed it, One thing I gotta say, its the funniest thing I have read in ages !

:D :laugh: :D :laugh: :D :laugh:

This is why I haven't installed the MS Antispyware program. I don't use IE, but it is needed to do Windows Update (even though my system is set on autopilot and downloads things from Microsoft without any knowledge on my part).

This article shows one thing that is very unpleasant about Microsoft though: it's attitude. Just because it is so powerful, it thinks it can go around saying "tough sh*t" to the legitimate concerns of competitors. IBM used to have that kind of "f*ck off!" attitude towards the competition, and it's just really a case of hubris, IMHO. :wacko:

A representative from Lavasoft, which sells Ad-Aware another spyware removal program, complained that Microsoft was using its monopoly and knowledge of the operating system to "offer features that others can't match."

"Tough ****," said Weatherbee.

Thanks! This article reminded me obliquely of that old interview with Bill Gates in which he says "Sh*t, man!" or something like that, as a kind of excited response to a question noting the potential of MS, via WMP, to monitor people's music and video choices/tastes. :rofl:

    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
