{The most vile thing you can think of}

Microsoft Does it again! Taking over an amazing company to do lord knows what with. This time the victim is Giant Company. Now I'm no Microsoft hater. Yes I believe they are the kings of mediocrity, and yes there software is BAD, but you know what, there is very little perfect software out there and NO perfect OSes out there. In any case I will give Microsoft is props where it deserves them, IE NOT ON THEIR SOFTWARE!!

Microsoft amazingly enough has under stood its need for better security in its OS, or rather the possibilities in the anti-spyware(AS) market, so what does it do?? Does it assign some of its own people to make and/or ask the AS community for help making some software?? NO! Instead it takes one of the best, although little know, AS company it can find and buys it out!!! This suggests that MS has no intention of giving back the the AS community and even worse may kill what was once one of the best pieces of AS software out there.

I suppose I should explain a little about Giant Company. Giant is one of those many Internet annoyances companies out there. They make Anti-spam/pop/spyware software. Interesting thing about AS programs is that, unlike firewalls and antivirus which were first marketed to companies and privet users latter, AS started as software for the every day user. Giant was looking like one of the first Professional level AS out there, they really had a very large database. Now I fear that With MS the DB will become outdated. I am also afraid of what MS will do to the software itself. MS is know for its bloated interfaces and security holes, and hell you know that because this program is made by MS, It will be targeted by every piece of malicious code out there. Great now the best AS software out there is a major target. Might as well of gone to cracker bb and/or chatroom been like bet you can't utterly decimate this software. Lastly I DO NOT TRUST MICROSOFT!!!!!!! Please MS stay a way from security leave it to people with morals(or vested interest in keeping your trust in its security) and coding skills.

Any ways life is good, tho i am jobless and feeling the squeeze. I am also sleeping days now and working nights till say ohh 5 am. Its a good life:).
