Every day you guys bitch and moan about how horrible and awful spam is, then Microsoft comes along with the perfect solution, and you all put it down like it's a bad infection or something.
Can Microsoft ever win here? Are they always evil no matter what they do?
Sender-ID would work. So what if they patented it? MS has tons of patens and they've never used any of them to the detriment of the community at large, so why the fear they'll start doing so now? Do you honestly believe thay'd start charging royalties on every email sent or something crazy like that? Get real.
It's unfortunate that because of a bunch immature people with an ideology, a great piece of technology like this will get passed up and the spam will continue to flow unabated.
Not only that, but no one seems to have considered just how many of these wind turbines it takes to generated a KW and how much space they take up compared to a Gas or Oil plant.
