For some perspective on his background, Kingsoft makes the most popular Chinese/English dictionary software in China - a really great product, ahead of its time. Joyo is not unheard of either... so he hasn't exactly come out of nowhere. Furthermore, hassling someone because he uses tried and true marketing techniques or happens to wear a black shirt while presenting is a bit extreme.

I can't speak for their dictionary, but KingSoft has an antivirus/internet security program which is nigh on impossible to uninstall, including extremely misleading messages on their uninstall screen.

I wouldn't touch any of their other stuff for that reason alone.

Fair enough. The golden era of their mouseover dictionary was ~2000.

Their office suites for Windows and Android rock!
