Microsoft about to buy into a BIG mistake

They're gonna buy Claria (the makers of Gator)?????

And I agree with the headline. But as one commenter posted, what better way to report to MS what software you have on your computer, as an anti-piracy measure, of course.
*Tongue firmly in cheek*

Perhaps another blogger has a better perspective on any positive business angle for Microsoft.
Any thoughts????

UPDATE:As I read through the article, there was a link to a previous show guest Ben Edelmen,
and his concerns with it, even more info at that link.
P.S. Well I tried to find the link to the show, and couldn't quickly, but I'm sure you heard it :)
