 Windows 93, hell, what about Windows 96?  And it even took 'em ANOTHER year before they released a second edition to correct half those flaws!  :D

I bet that's why they stopped using year names after 2000. (I dunno why they kept Server 2003)

Everyone here now knows that Microsoft wasn't out to get rid of spam in two years.  They were out to put proprietary, patented locks in the worlds email system.  

The first stage in their master plan was Sender-ID.  Sender-ID was a patent encumbered Microsoft "technology" which wasn't fundamentally different from other open-specifications, except that it would be incompatible with open-source software and it had boatloads of Microsoft dollars trying to stuff it down the throats of everyone.

MS doesn't do anything for anyone but MS.

What's really sad is the number of people that'll post here in the next week defending that as "normal business behaviour," when a normal business is consumer-oriented.
