| Re: This should go to court said by tbeckner  :BTW, even if it isn't the GOLD STANDARD right-away, it started out as the best single product on the market. And what I was attempting to point out, is that these Spyware/Adware/Malware companies do not have enough pull or money to stop Microsoft from classifying their junk as Malware and remove it. So since they cannot stop Microsoft from classifying their junk as junk, the "GAME IS OVER!", and they are wasting their time and money trying to change the mindset of second tier players. They can change everyone's mind, except Microsoft's and they have failed. In this one case, it is good to have a Monopoly that cannot be bought off. It is simple to see that "That's All Folks!". I still say we'll have to just wait and see on this one. Perhaps MS will be a "gentle giant" among the ad/spyware companies, or maybe it will lay some major monopolistic smack-down on their asses, it is yet to be seen. The players are barely coming out onto the field, and yet you've already declared certain victory. Let MS buck a head or two in the ad/spyware market at least, and then we'll get a better idea of their intentions in the anti-spyware wars. |
