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.
