I still remember a anti-virus messing up XSI licensing tool thinking it was spyware. Am I wrong?

BTW, back to  VISTA

Or  this little extract


Vista's legal fine print includes extensive provisions  granting Microsoft the right to regularly check the legitimacy of the software  and holds the prospect of deleting certain programs without the user's  knowledge”

And

“Once operational, the agreement warns that  Windows Defender will, by default, automatically remove software rated "high"  or "severe" even though that may result in other software ceasing to work or  mistakenly result in the removal of software that is not  unwanted.”

And

“Moreover, he calculated that the technological  controls would require considerable consumption of computing power with the  system conducting 30 checks each second to ensure that there are no attacks on  the security of the premium  content.”



NICE
