Of course, it would be most helpful if Microsoft were to actually work toward what it's claiming it wants, instead of _against_ stopping spam (UBE). See:

This does, of course, have connections to viruses, both in that viruses propagating via email are a form of unsolicited bulk email, and in that an increasing proportion of viruses/worms appear to be designed by spammers to open up proxies (and/or relays) for their usage - usually on Microsoft systems...
