That's a tough policy to make a reality, though. But I must
say I am pessimistic as Vista's recent proof-of-concept
hijacking is a prediction of more of the same. The end of
support for Windows 98 and ME likewise.
With stronger machines and higher bandwidth capacity, SPAM
will only rise. I am looking at about 400 E-mail spam per
day at the moment (let alone forum subscriptions with site
addresses, forum messages, guestbook entries, WordPress spam
comments, WordPress trackbacks, PHP-Nuke links, PHP-Nuke
spammy news submission, Wiki spam, referrer spam and zombie
attacks). And it doubles several times per year, in terms of
magnitude. Even SpamAssassin is no remedy because you speak
of statistics and increase by orders of magnitude here. I
hope that more people will yell out soon. I'm begging for
change. Gates said that SPAM would be history within a year.
That was about 3 years ago, so I guess he had given it his
best shot. And now he just walks away from the problems he
has created...
