I Don?t Believe It, Bill Gates and Freeware in the Same Sentence
by imiiso February 15, 2005 1:48 PM PST
Imagine, Bill Gates handing out FREE anti-spyware. Glad I?m not a gambler. If I was, I would have lost that hand of ?Holdem? Poker to the Mr. Gates.

The Emperor of Cyber-Space has clothes after all. Thanks for the early birthday present, Bill...it's great Anti-Spyware.

Call the Justice Department, MS is going to compete unfairly

Obviously MS is going to bundle these new protection packages with Windows just as they did IE. Is the Justice Department going to hit them up for unfair competition against all the other anti-virus and anti-spyware companies?

(Hint: Bundling IE which is just a browser was a right decision IMO. An OS which can connect to the internet should have certain software that comes standard with with it and a browser is definitely among the things it should have.)

Don't you think it's about time for Bill Gates to give us something free?? Other than the Royal -------- we always get? And it will have patch after patch for 5 years, until it is obsolete.
right decision IMO

Microsoft listen up, Where is the enterprise console for antispyware
by February 16, 2005 6:18 AM PST
Without a way to manage microsoft anti-spyware clinets across a larger enterprise it is just another limited tool for removing spyware, one of many.

We need an enterprise monitoring and mangement console, to go with the free client!!

That would be the part worth paying for.
