That is an oxymoron. M$ cannot be trusted at all. That is not now, nor has it ever been, on their agenda.

I have idea about spam.

Actually I come up with new idea how to eliminate spam for GOOD,I wonder where is good place to start first to protect it second to have it develop it.Its actualy cheaper then most solutions so far.
Reading this text I can see MS is still using 20-century solution.....My system doesnt block spam,it eliminates it completly.

Just what is...

...a "Microsoft strategist?"

I've never heard of such a preposterous job title. Is it along the same lines as those with "Digital Samurai" as their title over at Google?

The term "strategist" seems to imply there's some sort-of WAR going on. Zhuge Liang would be quite disappointed to find that somehow there's a WAR on SPAMMERS... "FIGHTING THE INVISIBLE ENEMY" would be the title.

Doesn't Even Understand The Problem

This MS guy has got to be kidding. MSN and Outlook are the solutions? What is he smoking? Today alone I was spammed two dozen times by a computer that was infected by Win32.mytob. This spamming zombie computer's intent was to infect my system too. It wasn't to sell me discount Viagra. The infected system's ISP (Birch.net) didn't detect or stop the aberrant activity, and neither did my email provider (Yahoo). My ZoneAlarm software protected me. Microsoft, you get a big fat zero!!!

As long as Microsoft continues to be run by wingtips instead of tennis shoes, the problem will continue. Those guys don't know **** from shineola.
