I also laughed when I saw Wild Tangent listed in your article because I also have made a lot of money cleaning crapware off of small business PCs and home users. But not because of Wild Tangent in recent times. A lot of the gaming software can cause issues at one time or another on a particular PC setup. But in general, I have not had any issues with Wild Tangent causing more issues on a persons PC than other gaming software in the same class. I am not realy a huge fan of the software, but if the user wants it bad enough and it isnt causing an issue, I see no reason in leaving it. There is a tradeoff in a lot of software. Each person needs to decide if it is worth it to him. But Wild Tangent in the same sentence as BonziBuddy ? I don’t see it.

I had to laugh when I saw Wild Tangent listed in your article. I agree wholeheartedly and commend you for not caving in to Alex St John’s rantings. I have made a lot of money cleaning his ‘crapware’ off of computers, and his column in CPU magazine is why I let my subscription expire. It was a close call, because Chris Pirillo also writes for CPU, but I just got so tired of St John whining and blaming Microsoft for all the troubles of the world. Kudos to you for having the guts to call this program what it really is!
