This statement is true. But the article is not about that.

MS is worried that a non-certified buggy software, bundled with VISTA, will affect the credibility of the OS in the eyes of the user.

The EULA displayed during DirectRevenue's adware installation states:

"You further understand and agree, by installing the software, that the software may, without any further prior notice to you, remove, disable or render inoperative other adware programs resident on your computer..."

If the legal suite goes in favor of DirectRevenue, it will be matter of days before this kind of EULA is modified, to allow adware programs to uninstall adware-removal tools as well!
