My favorite quote would be [We have a very, very innovative set of capabilities that we're putting in the next version. And in the meantime it's an extensible platform, and there will be a set of extensions that Microsoft does as well as others.] Oh boy, are they actually working side by side with the virusmakers and phishers?" That just gives the MozBoys a year head start.

    If someone has a normal/high intelligence, it doesn't mean he/she enjoys puzzling out sendmail.cf or remembering if a given program uses Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Ins/Shift-Ins or select/middle mouse button for copy and paste. Personally, I would rather write a new program or play a good puzzle game.

    Okay, so your unfounded theory is based on loose assumptions and flawed logic regarding an app that doesn't even exist.

    Like I said, stay off the drugs.
