Microsoft and its anti-spyware acquisition

May be they start to understand that spyware is a menace and that it is time to do something about it.

Or, may be they realise that their "newest competitor", Firefox is growing so rapidly that there is a danger that their marketshare in the browser market dips even more.

A third possibility is that their own software development department needs some patching up (just kidding).

Anyway, Microsoft has bought into the anti-spyware business with the acquisition of Giant Company Software, a New York-based startup with a highly rated anti-spyware application.

Let's hope that it gets better with their product development, and that the integration of the company is smooth enough to allow for more anti-spyware programs.
