    Erm, spyware? This isn't something they are installing on all windows operating systems....it is an app designed for use by police agencies to catalog and analyze the images for use in later investigations. People need to do their reading....

    Hey everyone,

    Well I must say this is a very interesting discussion. So here my feelings.

    I feel like BG gets blamed for many things that aren’t his fault. We live in and enjoy a Capitalist economy, and BG learned how to use it to his advantage. As a person I don’t have a problem with him. I see someone who built just like many other people do in our system. And I am glad he is a good enough person to dentate and use his power to help problems like this kiddy porn. As a childcare worker I am discussed with how much is out there, and how easy it is to accidentally come across.

    My feeling is we have to separate our feelings about Microsoft and BG. Sure there are plenty of things I don’t like about windows. But think about it...BG is out to make money. He created one of the largest companies. Why would he intentionally create something people don’t like or isn’t secure enough. He wouldn’t in my opinion. But their best effort isn’t always what the people want. And in our capitalist system if you don’t like a product you have all the privileges to create a better one. And I know in some ways MS has become better at least in my eyes. As some others have mentioned educational purchases and such have become cheaper and easier to get a hold of.

    Well that’s my feelings. Let me know what you think and anyone who can stop kiddy porn has my acceptance.
