I have downloaded, and frequently run, the new Microsoft Anti-Spyware and found it to be very good. My concern is about how long this will remain a free product. Microsoft invested a large amount of money in buying the Giant company. My copy of the Beta version expires on the 31st July 2005. Will we we then be required to buy yearly updates one wonders?
There is a huge market out there for Anti Spyware software and I would imagine that if it comes with the Microsoft name and the right marketing it could become a huge money earner for Microsoft.
