Still got to use ad-aware to remove tracking cookies. MS doesn't take any notice of them.

331250 2005-03-07 00:12:00 Trouble is that Microsoft didn't make it. A company called Giant Software made it, and Microsoft has brought the company. they then proceeded to put there name on it and supposedly removed compatibility with Win95/98/ME. ( which the program had when put out by Giant). pheonix (36)

Plus the ability to check some 3rd party app's, browsers other than IE for instance.

The crippled cababilites re software and OS is more to do with marketing than producing good functional software, which is a real shame because otherwise it looks like a good programme with a clean, easy to use, interface, and seems to carry out the functions it is enabled for more than capably.

Beta or not, MS's motives for doing this can only be viewed in a cycical light IMO. It's just another arrogant and shoddy peice of work from a company who seem to be, bit by bit, treading on their consumers (they don't have customers anymore) and, bit by bit, losing it.

Yes but then Microsoft never actually "made" anything. They steal or buy other peoples software then stuff it up. Well, no to be fair - they did actually create the Office "paperclip" thingy.
