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:

Did you not read my post before, its not true, its a wind up !

. . . or are you just winding us up with your answer !

[pre]

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.

LMAO CANT STOP LAUGHING.... lol great find thanks :D

[-=NoX=-]

"It shows how powerful our AntiSpyware program is," said Weatherbee. "Not only is it able to remove spyware from the system, but also the source of most spyware. Our competitors can't match that."

haha wata coverup :rofl:

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:

[=Syntax=]

Funny,,,, I've had no problem at all with their new antispyware program at all ! I've installed it on hundreds of customers machines without a single mishap. I even tried to get it to target IE, but to no avail. It bypasses it every single time !!
