MS freebie anti-virus scanner auto-downloads provoke more anger

Thumb Down

The download is only offered to Windows users who aren't already running anti-virus software.

This isn't exactly true. It should read "The download is only offered to Windows users who aren't already running Microsoft-recognised anti-virus software." It certainly tries to offer it and install it on PCs here running CA eTrust Anti-virus.

Why we love to hate Microsoft

Stop

You're forgetting the Support Issue

I would argue that the No.1 reason that most tech people are anti-Microsoft is because they suffer the bugs and flaws and ill-thought-out programming and development on a daily basis and suffer their userbase's comments on the same and Microsoft provide no adequate forum for feedback of these failures to allow them to get resolved. If they provide a means for feedback then it is hidden behind exorbitant price plans and expensive technet subscriptions.
