Actually its worse than that..
I question the QA standards at Microsoft, I question their business methods and I question their greed driven model for everything they push off (i.e. Quick buy this version!, [3 months later] QUICK you need this version now!, [3 months later] We are dropping support on the other versions, you must buy this now...)

I don't question their competance to program anti-spyware tools though. That's just silly even for a person who wished Bill Gates would just go away forever.

They have programmers than code Operating Systems and Database Engines for crying out loud I think they could code a spyware blocker.

Ahhh...so you are thinking of saying something about the QUALITY of those operating systems and DB engines...but that goes back to the QA policies and practices, not that their coders don't have the skill to make it quality.

Lastly, the joke is MS didn't bother to care to include anything in IE until now...and on that your point is valid.

lol.
