My understanding is that AT&T no longer stands for American Telephone and Telegraph, and that the board actually voted to drop that association a while back, "post-acronym."
Yes, and there's more where that came from. Hover over the checkbox in the final panel during installation: "Check this box to launch GIANT AntiSpyware now" shows up as a tooltip. Also note the Comment text for the desktop icon: "GIANT AntiSpyware Main Application."
Cosmetic? Sure, but it could also make folks wary who know nothing about GIANT. "I just installed Microsoft AntiSpyware - what's this GIANT thing? I better uninstall it. It might be compromised."
I installed Giant - er, um - Microsoft AntiSpyware on an otherwise "clean" system (no Spybot, no AdAware, AntiVirus disabled during install, not online, etc.). When I run it, I get the bullseye icon in the systray but that's it. No dialog boxes or windows appear when I run/open the app nor the update.
However, when I Alt-Tab, I see an interesting window titled "gcasDtServHolder" with three mini-bullseye icons and five buttons named "systrayhide," "systrayshow," "systraynormal," "systrayscanning" and "systrayupdating." This appears tied to gcasDTServ.exe (AntiSpyware Data Service)... which appears tied to the system tray. Hmm.
All I know is I used the Giant version a while back and had no problems. I'm at a loss as to what's up. (Please don't tell me I'll have to reinstall Windows! Ugh.)
Didn't McGrease (I mean McDonalds) essentially do this already with their Playland design? Not sure if they have ordering kiosks though, so maybe it doesn't count.

ROTFL! Actually, hmm, yep - your sig is better.
Wow. Now all he has to do is cram a SPARC inside the PC inside the Mac Mini and he'll have Electronic Turducken.

Looks to me like that DSL rep would have offered a better response with one of these Tech Support Spheres instead.
Lessee (shakes sphere, reads answer): "Network Error" - see? It works!
