| To do so would be foolish!
I doubt seriously that Microsoft would be so foolish. It would definitely be counter-productive. I'm sure they realize that to do so would likely disenfranchise them from even the most ardent Microsoft users. Their whole purpose of getting into the anti-spyware/adware business was to win back some of the trust that has eroded away over the past several years. To do so, would be like giving their endorsement to Linux!

1 edit | There is absolutely no question about whether Microsoft will or will not remove WeatherBug's classification as 'spyware'. The matter was settled.

In the case of WeatherBug, the dispute-resolution process paid immediate dividends. On Friday, the company received a response from Microsoft with the good news that the current signatures for Minibug will be removed. |

And they did this because they're deriving some benefit either financial or otherwise from doing so? I am not that familiar with Weather Bug, but I would think that examining Microsoft's motives before accusing them of selling out, would be prudent. I can't imagine that the makers of Weather Bug could pay Microsoft enough to get them to do something unethical, but then again, maybe I'm wrong.
