said by suzi:The buzz in the anti-spyware community is that Microsoft is very concerned about spyware. The eWeek article says Mike Coleman is from Microsoft's Windows division. If Microsoft is serious about dealing with spyware, I'd like to know what the MS security division would say about this. Service Pack 2 and the beta Antispyware are just not sufficient. Something else has to be done. I just cannot comprehend Mr. Coleman's response.
Between MS's response to the WMP problem and the fact they took Giant and immediately reworked it so it would not run on Win9x machines I'm beginning to think Microsoft's concern about spyware was more for PR purposes. They had me convinced otherwise until all of this.
