That's a good one! I read about the connections between GMail and SPAM, but
thought it was a baseless and grossly-exaggerated accusation.
To be fair, the vast majority of SPAM (over 80%) is being sent from hijacked
Windows PC's (I can link to studies). The majority is the global E-mail
traffic is, as a matter of fact, 'spewage' from Windows XP. DDOS attacks
likewise. And it's not getting any better.
Windows Vista Inherits the Sins of the Father

| The sins of the father... Microsoft's incubatory exorcism failed,
