Of course this is a social club in the sense that we're together as a
group sharing common interests. I meant that sometimes there's more "being
agreeable" than "objective" in our interactions. In the discussion of
computers I'd rather be more objective that supporting my buddy who may or
may not have a defensible position. And I practice what I preach by
letting go of my erroneous thinking and if I'm mistaken have no problem
admitting it. My current learning curve associated with RAID being a good
example. I figure when I add additional hardrives to my RAID 0 array I
will destroy existing data and have to replace it. I'm not 100% clear on
that hence my question on the subject to our little group and my
skepticism about being able to add drives to the array in Windows Disk
Management (I would like to be wrong about that). No offense intended to
any one individual, but I often feel my objectivity is frowned upon by
some of you. Probably not viewed as much of a "team player". Lol

Brian/ScoobyDo,
Fine. Barbs accepted. I will dedicate 2 of my XPpro clients and spin up
MSSE for a test. My current ESET license runs thru 12/12, so this may
remain my primary Baddie Catcher.
Personally, I consider HWG a "social club" of sorts. I was taught that
any collection of humans that come together via a common interest (HW)
defines as a social club. Personally, opinions and biases are always
welcome here.
Best,
Duncan

Your job is very cool Brian, I've been a space enthusiast since we
landed on the Moon. I've been reading Science Fiction since age 16 and
have always been excited about future advancements. Computers are my
hobby and I enjoy reading articles on the latest new hardware. This is
the Hardware Group is it not? I think there are people here who have
forgotten that and may think that it's more of a social club. LOL

My point was that the comments against using MSSE didn't appear to be
coming
from anyone who has actually used it.
If someone has used it and had a bad experience or didn't like it, then
please by all means share that with the group. That is valid data that
should be taken into consideration when making the decision about
whether or
not to use the product.
And no, I'm not paid by Microsoft or any other tech company. I
actually
work in the space sector, and more specifically on national and
international policy for space security and sustainability. Tech is
simply
a hobby of mine, but one I take seriously (like many on this list).

Brian,
Why your point about bias? Are you paid by Microsoft? Is everyone on
this
List supposed to tow some unknown commercial line? I read no, "Bad
Microsoft!" I did read individual choices, and, yes personal
opinions. Fair
Dinkum! I enjoy the free exchange of opinions here.
Perhaps it is different for me. I am retired after some 35 years of
being
paid to use many things Microsoft. I use Microsoft ATM; just a bit
behind
the curve.......... :)

There seems to be a lot of anti-MS bias on here that isn't based on
any
real
data other than opinion.
Just because it is made by Microsoft does not mean MSSE is bad. It
is
very
lightweight, does not crash, and does the best job of removing
malware
that
I have seen. And it is free. I never used AV until I started using
it
because I was turned off by the crappy choices and I love it.

What's the consensus?
