Microsoft buys Giant

I've been using Giant AS for some time and I like
it. It finds shit that Spybot or AdWare doesn't.

Of course, MS doesn't yet know how to detect spyware
so I can see why they would buy Giant. I'm beginning
to wonder if MS really gives a shit about Secure
Systems and just want to control the whole process.

I don't have much confidence in Microsoft so this
buyout doesn't impress me as a confident user of
Giant.

I'll continue using Brand X.

Microsoft said it plans to offer tools based on
Giant's technology that will help protect Windows
PCs from spyware and other deceptive software.
The technology complements security features
available in Windows XP Service Pack 2, the
company said.

The report.
