Maybe they're buying them out so they quit infecting every computer with spyware.

microsoft and good intentions? 😀

That's like...Military Intelligence...A condradiction in terms...

:thumbsup:😀
There has to be some motive as opposed to them wanting to do some good. 🙁
 
"Strategically, a buyout would give MSN several key assets. First, the Internet portal would acquire an advertising network that sells and targets promotions to people outside the MSN Network"...& "MSN would acquire technology to personalize advertisements--search ads, banners or pop-ups--as well as tailor content to Web surfers."


Sounds like they would use spyware to promote MSN...A BIG NO!!!
 
If RossMAN can buy Ripplehost just to send I TOLD YOU SO emails, then I can buy Claria just to shut them down, goddammit! 😛
