said by LordMalak:Microsoft is looking for a cheaper deal. In other words, Microsoft is looking for a deal that won't kill one or more of their product lines. Acquiring a well-known spyware company makes any anti-spyware product suspect. Acquiring a well-known spyware company makes their OS's security even more suspect. Even if Claria were free, the cost to their other lines of business would be prohibitive.
