This is such crap Phillip! Geez... nobody here or anywhere else feels
the way they do about Microsoft without good reason. They've earned the
enmity and the latest events have done little more than highlight the
fact that they *HAVE NOT CHANGED* and in all likelihood *WILL NOT
CHANGE*! Now I am all in favor of continuing to work on anti-spam issues
They certainly have not changed. However, remember that IBM was doing
similar things a generation ago - and they changed for the better.
I think Microsoft will eventually change. But it will take another
40 years, and there is a chance that they may go under from their
accumulated negative goodwill before then. There is also the chance
that their evil plans will succeed and they will rule the world.
