Good Luck, Micro$oft!

Yeah--It seems that every time I turn around, MS is doing something to pi$$ off its customers.

It's practically a given that this tool will have false positives and hurt some company's network and productivity.

It's a win/win for Microsoft and the alternatives. More people will pay for their software, so Microsoft will keep their revenue stream intact.
However, more people will look for alternatives, Apple and Linux. Linux will be the big winner.
The long term effect will be that people, (college kids), who have switched to Linux at home because that's what they could afford, will begin to demand what they've used at home, at work.
Microsoft knows the model well, it worked for them in the early days of the PC when you could steal all the Microsoft stuff you felt inclined to steal.
