1. The eternal vigilance of people like Eric, along with the trusty sensationalism of the media and the blogs, will cause MS to retreat from its current course.

2. The Claria deal will never take place.
I am afraid there is too much money at stake here for them to back off...

I guess this has the nice silver lining of keeping the other antispyware companies in business after all.

My predictions:

1. The eternal vigilance of people like Eric, along with the trusty sensationalism of the media and the blogs, will cause MS to retreat from its current course.

2. The Claria deal will never take place.

3. In a year or so MS AntiSpyware will fall into the same dustbin where they left MS AntiVirus in the 80s, with no real updates and disillusioned users.

4. The pollyannish MS supporters will somehow claim it's all for our own good.

5. TCPA will render some of this nonsense moot (for better and for worse).

6. The AV companies will finally get off their fat asses and start handling the spyware problem properly.

I'm going out on a limb on that last one.

The time frame here is approximately 2 years.
