Vista May Put Anti-Spyware Companies Out

Ant wrote to mention a C|Net article with an interesting premise: Windows Vista's tough approach to spyware may put anti-spyware companies out of business. From the article: "While this may be good news for buyers of Vista, it is not for anyone who makes a living from selling anti-spyware software. The worldwide market has boomed recently, reaching $97 million in revenue in 2004, up 240.4 percent from a year earlier, according to IDC. However, companies such as Webroot Software and Sunbelt Software are in for tough times, analysts said."

Isn't that a bit like saying "I have no problem robbing banks - only stupid people give their money to strangers"?

But why am I wasting my time? If you're evil, there's little anyone can do about it. You'll always find excuses why it's fine to do what you do (ask a drug dealer if he's doing the right thing and he'll tell you that he sells a bit of happiness to poor and depressed people).
