Comments on: Microsoft says sorry for AntiSpyware error

A Dutch Web site has accepted an apology from Microsoft after it was blacklisted by the software giant's anti-spyware tool.

Stupidest Thing I've Heard All Day

Does anyone but me realize that this is BETA software. Anyone who's tried Microsoft's Anti-Spyware software also knows that there is a feature that you can use to report any sites or programs that have been ERRONEOUSLY marked as related to malware, just like any spam filter has. I can see where an apology might be nice, but "settling" with cash???? How stupid... it's a beta, people!

And it's also Microsoft

Being beta or not doesn't matter. They have acted in this way before, and they prove again they will keep on doing it.
This proves again that they are always willing to mess with the competition, no matter how small they are.
