Sooooo..... A free offer for the next version of the OS that is trivially removable with the most basic of knowledge counts as "malware" now? And you want to SUE them for this?
Trivially removable would be to provide a dismiss item to the context menu. Having to figure out that it came with a windows update and which one to remove to get rid of the icon required actual work on my part. I agree that it is silly to suggest suing MS for a free upgrade, but I *do* find it to be bad manners on their part to not supply an easy way to remove their advertising from my desktop. Sort of like a guest not leaving her or his muddy shoes at the entrance to your home.
