Great news isn't it, first they give you a beta of software to stop spyware
and then they buy one of the biggest offenders.

Certainly an alarming trend, if true. Note, however, that there are
nothing but unspecified anonymous "sources" cited in the purported
"news" story. I think I'll wait for a few facts before become alarmed
over what could be nothing but unfounded rumor.

The thing that annoys me about this so called report is :-
"...
This is how the deal would work if this purchase happens. Microsoft would
have the information collected from forty million people who happen to have
Claria software on their computers. Microsoft then would use that
information to serve personalized advertisements based on the surfing habits
of those people.
...."
Just what are 'they' basing this preposterous statement on.
They have absolutly no idea why we may be looking at purchasing other
companies.
This is nothing more then wild speculation and scare mongering.

The first one reports something verifiable, that MS has, in fact,
lessened the warning about Gator.
And the second one is an opinion piece that I happen to agree with, that
if MS does Claria then they are letting some real scumbags profit from
their actions!
Your company has clearly been in talks with Claria, for what is
debatable at the moment, but it is clear that downgrading MAS warning on
Gator is not in the best interests of consumers.
