Spyware

Microsoft has released a beta version of their new anti-Spyware software. I'm partial to AdAware and use it on all of my systems but at first glance, this looks pretty good. Only nit is that it seeks to "authenticate" your copy of Windows before they let you proceed with the download. There is a way round this but I'm betting that this will go away an MSFT will be a lot more sticky about seeing if you are running a "valid" copy of Windows before they let you update anything...
