There currently seem to be a couple of main trains of
thought for dealing with spam:-
a) Make the spammers pay. Three words - ha, ha, ha.
These are pretty inventive (twisted, but inventive)
people who spend all day devising new ways to dodge
spam blockers. Fake credit card numbers are fairly
simple to create - it won't even tax their brains that
much..
b) I believe Mr Gates aims to build in mistrust to the
system - the OS and the apps won't trust one another
automatically, as they do now. Can't help wondering
if only M$ OS and apps be able to talk to each other
by then (a few years, several new OS's and plenty of
expensive new hardware away), thus cementing the
market stranglehold?
Keep taking the spam blockers (red & white stripes,
alternate Tuesdays)

Su
