Re: Microsoft is in the pro-spyware business

Actually I recently installed weatherbug and I was able to get away with not installing the crapware with it. I confirmed afterwards by running spybot and ad-aware. You just have to pay attention on that one.

The biggest propogation of spyware is a result of that massive "free lunch" crowd some may call Republicans They want clean roads but don't want to pay the taxes to keep the roads clean. I could go on and on with analogies but one should get my point across.

What I tell my customers is, "If it seems to good to be free, don't download it" Or "If you want a program that offers both free and for pay downloads....PAY FOR IT" For the most part their systems stay pretty clean and I don't have to worry about them calling me and telling me that the "internet is slow"

And that's so different from you wanting Weatherbug and not wanting to pay for it by getting their ads?
