Perspectives: January 9
I’ve decided to start a new series on this blog, which I’m calling Perspectives. I realize that I end a lot of posts with “we’ll see where this goes”, but we never get to see, since I’m not going to repeat the same stuff every day until a conclusion is reached. Blogs tend to be so obsessed with the “now”, that we never pay attention to what’s happened in the past, and we forget things that might be important. So, every day, unless I’m way too busy (or not around), I’ll post about whatever I was discussing a year ago, and, as time goes by, two years ago, and so on.
On January 9, 2005, Microsoft AntiSpyware had beaten Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware in a face-off. I wouldn’t be surprised if AntiSpyware still beats all comers, what with Microsoft money behind it. I haven’t had any antispyware program but Microsoft’s installed since the summer, and I don’t miss the others; sometimes I forget they even exist. Does anyone who runs AntiSpyware believe they actually need the others anymore?
This has been “Perspectives”, I’m Lionel Osbourne.
