Microsoft has a right to their intellectual property, without a doubt.

However, Window's Genuine Advantage is by even the most narrow of definitions SPYWARE. On new PCs--completely licensed Windows systems--its a bloody nightmare. It has a tendency to hang in the pending installs and I've seen up to 5 instances of it running at once.

Its funny, one must admit, Gates and the other pirate founders of Microsoft, have truly come full circle. And, devined themselves new realms of legal godliness. Now they want to exploit themselves, and the end-user should pay for their illegal conduct.
