I'm not surprised

Microsoft set's well known spyware to 'ignore'
...

Are you shocked at this? Cause I wasn't. And many people here weren't either.

There are some companies that have lost focus on the product they create or the service they provide. They focus on only one thing. Money.

So reliability, security, and privacy all come at a cost to the end-user. If you are in the Microsoft world of computers you consistently have to rely on Microsoft for these things and you have to get it at a high cost. Your focus is to increase your reliability, security, and privacy. Unfortunately in the Microsoft world you can only go to one place to get that. Microsoft. And we all know that they don't have the same desires as you do. They want your money and more of it.

As one slashdot reader says "Marketing a security product for your own operating system is like correcting your own spelling test."

Don't be a sucker and don't buy Microsoft.
