Why would we buy M$ anti-spyware when Ad-aware & Spybot are free?
Well, WE wouldn't, but others might - for example, why would you pay hundreds of dollars for M$ Office when Open Office is better & free? ... the majority of people do! If M$ offers their spyware free for a while to get market share, then introduces a fee, albeit a small and affordable fee, they will make millions overnight because there are a lot of people out there who believe the M$ is better.
Kind regards, James Elliott

They have a "free" firewall, so maybe they really will offer free spy ware, who knows. :)
