Default microsoft\'s anti-spyware program -- who\'s using it?

Today's Houston Chronicle had a column about Microsoft's beta anti-spyware program. The program was given a good review but there was the standard warning about using beta versions of programs. Is anyone here using the program and, if so, how's it working for you?

Taking Slashdot's advice about a Microsoft program is like taking Phil Hellmuth's advice about who the best poker player in the world is...

It's definitely comprehensive and thorough. I figure, who better to develop a anti-spyware program than MS, who knows exactly what files are and are not supposed to be running and on your OS.
