Embedding ads and pop-ups into Windows? That is the suspicision of "many". We all know that Microsoft can't get away with that, if not for long. I think the problem is overstated, fanboys looking for a rush. »www.siliconbeat.com/ »www.perfected.org/archives/2005/···azy-but/ »www.benedelman.org/news/063005-1.html "The Times says Microsoft's Ballmer wants to be "more aggressive" in pursuing Google." -- "If you like linux then use it otherwise stop preaching about linux we all already know about it and if we like it we'll use it. If you keep pestering people you look like those annoying Jehovah's witnesses... [..] with nothing better to do."

Ad-Aware caught heck for quietly dropping WhenU. Microsoft appears to be dropping Claria/Gator from being quarentined/deleted for the money, not that the threat has changed. I hold the same standard to Microsoft that I do to other companies. I was vocal about Lavasoft's actions previously and if MS continues to go down an ethically challenged path I will also be vocal. It's not just pop ups or ads that bother me - it's the tracking technology and the existing database of information that may be put into use by MS. While I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt, this certainly tips the odds that they aren't going to do the right thing. -- God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I am so far behind I will never die.
