Idiots.

I use e-mail forwarding. Are all my e-mail going to be marked as "spam" now?

It would be a real shame if SenderID was adopted, while there are more open and (more importantly) better technologies available.

Microsoft should stick to creating inferior operating systems and digital paperclips, instead of trying to do something for the Internet.
Their standards are usually a quick fix and often force a lock-in.
