There's a certain irony to this isn't there.. Microsoft buy out a spyware company so that users can fix problems, 99.9% of which originate from poor security in other Microsoft Products 
That said, this does look a decent product, much as people might bash MS, if they promote a product like this, people will be far more aware of the problem, and likely to address it than if they have to turn to third-party programs that they've never heard of.
It's also quite nice from my POV as a network administrator - I've not looked at it in great depth yet but I'm pretty sure it can be automagically rolled out to desktops, and scheduled to update and run at a set time each day/week.
