Some will have been astute enough to wonder why Microsoft
would publicise beta software and make it so widely
available. They may also have thought that documentation
and missed features from the release suggest the release
was rushed.
The answer is probably to do with Microsoft's submission
to the United States House of Representatives Committee on
Energy and Commerce at their hearing on "Combating
Spyware: H.R. 29, the 'SPY ACT' " (26 January 2005).
Consumers and journalists should remember that in
commerce, profit and politics come before the public. It
is the wider picture of what companies do not what they
say that needs to be considered.
 
Or maybe MS wanted to cash in on the anti-spyware market
by acquiring the best program and the owning company in
that category, and then improve even further on the #1
anti-spyware program. Pretty smart if you ask me, even
if there is not a conspiracy under every rock.

Maybe Microsoft is listening to the end users. It's the
same as your ISP offering a free anti-virus software. It
only enhances the use of the internet. If people are
scared or paranoid of using it then the economy will
suffer. Make it safe and the people will use it more.
After all, we are in the technology age.
