I think that one of the things thast will help protect them from action by spyware vendors is the Spynet Network, which they are retaining in their version of the Giant product. As intrusions, not wanted by the user, are reported over the network, and the network responds to the report, the whole thing "self selects" malware.
So, MS can say, "You may not think that your program is a baddie, but the users of Antispyware think your program is a baddie. We are really not in a position to argue with them".
That network setup, if it really works, is the most interesting part of this whole venture.
