Re: Ah but This is a good move by MS if they go on and eliminate the spyware company and use their programmers to do other work, 'productive' work that helps the computer user.
But that isn't the effect it would have, assuming the buyout is simply to shut Claria down. When you pay $500 million for a company to go away, hundreds of other companies will pop up and copy what Claria did to try and rake in similar riches. It exacerbates the problem and helps to legitimize adware/spyware companies. A lot of VC's would be happy to invest for a return like that! |
