"Microsoft Certified Partner"?

<edit> The full url: http://hotbar.com/installation/Browsing/install.aspx?FirstVisitDURL=des%3Aen/welcome&BannerID=20125036017003

I probably wouldn't go there on IE :-/

Where does it say that?  Also, I see a thing for anti-spyware on the hotbar site.

MSMSG beat HotBar to the punch.

It says it beside the "not spyware" logo.

Now that I think about it, that's probably classified as AdWare (since it shows you ads and crap) instead of SpyWare (which sends back usage statistics)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Apparently, to become a "Microsoft Certified Partner", all you have to do is pay.

My dad was a MCP, and he told me he had to pay to stay one.

Haha, that's kinda funny.  To be certified by them, you just send them money?

x86labs.org should become certified. I wonder how much it costs.
