Not ready for prime time

well its a nice start but it lacks in several respects.

1) bugs
the call to close open IE instances fails when used (pop
up dialog says it will now close all explorer windows in
order to proceed, application proceeds after clicking yes,
but browser remains open)

cookie scan seems to have not happened.

2) lacking proper definitions
the ms product found 2 files
adaware found 68, mostly alexa miners within the cookies
where the ms tool found nothing. Alexa is a basic "been
around for a long time" signature, why does the MS tool
fail to recognise it?

3) questionable intent.
it seems this is a thinly veiled attempt to collect and
verify product serial numbers and to shore up the anti-
piracy programs microsoft so strongly supports.
does that seem harsh? well lets look at the video tape...
the 2 components that the ms tool found were required and
essential to the operation of peer-to-peer file sharing
apps e-donkey2000 and overnet, had I deleted these items
it would have crippled all my peer-to-peer apps as well as
deleting partialy downloaded files. so, in all what stuck
in my mind is that ms tried to verify my product then
tried to nuke peer-to-peer tools, great for anti-piracy
advocates and Microsoft but not much help for end users..

remember ms tool failed to even detect the actual spyware
components from a clean well maintained system and instead
tried to clean my machines morals.

when will old bill learn that these transparent,
selfserving attempts at forcing the world into compliance
will only generate more resent.

Hey Bill, how about making sure you can get through a
simple 20 minute power point presentation without your
computer crashing before you try to correct the ills of
the world.

Do you have any clue what "beta" means?
I'm thinking no.

I so glad I can always count on a clueless prat like you
to run off at the mouth with "do you know what beta means?"
I was beta testing products when you were still in the
bottle of cheap wine your parents downed before their big
mistake.

it's called reporting found errors, this is what you do
when you are an ACTIVE participant in testing rather then
some know-it-all leach trying to find a way to save a buck
on software. and until they (MS) provides a way for
testers to give feedback and bug reports.. well you're
gonna see a lot more posts like this one.

god what a smacktard.
