Microsoft Refreshes Windows AntiSpyware Beta

Beta or not, many nitwits (including some who troll here) think it should be perfect. Show me a program that is perfect, or bug-free. It's not possible. Programs are created by humans. Humans aren't perfect.

To those saying that this software is 'useless' I would point out that it's extremely well done and, unlike other products, runs both in realtime, and preset autoscan. Yesterday, it caught a 'remote control'hack on a friend's (business!)computer -which was easily deleted. If it had stayed -he could have been in deep trouble.
It doesn't yet detect all forms of spyware -but hey folks, it's still in beta!

"And all these conspiracy theories about MS "suddenly" downgrading their rating of Gator software are bogus: In January the AntiSpyware product detected the software, but you still had to ask it to remove the junk."

Uh, how does that make it bogus?

Microsoft changed the recommended action for one of the most notorious pieces of software to "Ignore" instead of "Remove," right around talks to purchase the company. Irregardless, it's a crappy anti-spyware product if it isn't going to even recommend removing Claria junk.

According to Reuters, Mac marketshare went up to 5% just last year! With increased sales expected this quarter, it's goinåg to go up even more. Coupled with having 16% of the world's install base of computers, Microsoft is running for cover and abandoning .NET in Longhorn.

Anyone else find it really hysterical that Windows is so poorly designed that its creator has to sell an anti-spyware package just to keep it clean?
