Yes it is, but with Microsoft beta and stable is all the same ;)

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

I was wondering when they were going to start edging out McAfee and Norton.  I guess the answer is "now".

Well ... yet another step towards world domination ... stay tuned for more next time ... soon the planet earth will be renamed to planet Microsoft ! ... I certainly hope not ... but then who knows

I was wondering why Window$ doesn't sue over similar names like the X Window system ... or for the very appearance of a minimize, maximize, close buttons on most windows on other operating systems. They sued for lesser things (the FAT long-filename patent)

Wow, they create crappy software which allows spyware and trojans, and then they sell software to partly fix it.

Exactly, they have it sorted, they release buggy insecure software then avertise the latest exploits on their website and make even more money from selling anti-malware shit which wouldn't be required if they'd done the job properly in the first place.

Exactly ... I think you're absolutely right ... that's the way they work ... their slogan should be make as much money as possible by any means available, the more sinister and ruthless the plot, the better.
