You do realize that most spam headers are forged?

Here's one mistake that I noticed, in the "Microsoft To-Do List" section:

56 Enable automatic file encryption We've heard the promises for years. But even Apple offers this already - what's the holdup?

That's been available since at least Win2K - select a folder, right click, Properties, Advanced, "Encrypt contents to secure data", answer the questions. Select the correct options, and all files moved to/created in that directory will be automatically encrypted. Perhaps that's not simple enough for them, but it's there, and it works.

Some of the other points, there and elsewhere, are similarly wrong, or just plain nonsensical.
