That’s a shame, looks like he ran one of the many companies around at that time that would offer a “free” scan because you’re “at risk” and then harass you to buy it after. For a guy who was involved in some competent software during a time when Microsoft made decent products it’s a shame he left to start that nonsense.
In any case, the insight into Microsoft in the video i still find interesting but yeah fuck that guy. Wouldn’t buy anything from him, even if it has been 20 years.
Dave Plummer recently put out a video on why he thinks windows upgrades are free now. I found it interesting.

Unfortunately Dave is an asshole who got sued for shipping scareware (I think). Fuck this guy.
