While I appreciate your support in stating that Pocket PC Thoughts wouldn't distribute spyware, I don't really agree with your opinion of cookies. I've never seen or heard of an instance where a simple text file could do anything that real spyware can do. Cookies can only do one thing, and that one thing isn't malicious or even capable of generating income for the distributor of the cookie, which is certainly a defining characteristic of spyware. The attitude of "cookies are evil spyware" is what I'm trying to dispel, but you seem to think otherwise. If you have some proof, I'd love to see it!
