MS AntiSpyware

[Lare2]

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:

"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."

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!

Bah, lame article.

BBspot isn't very funny. Most of it seems to be late to the punch, pretty weak, and obvious.
