It looks like the suspicions of many are being confirmed.
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.

"The Times says Microsoft's Ballmer wants to be "more aggressive" in pursuing Google."
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.
