This, plus the ability to put batteries in a device any which way, are the only good things that have come out of Microsoft lately.

That, and this little thing called Windows 7...

Well . . . it is Microsoft's operating system that is getting breached and creating these zombie armies, so it is not like they are must a disinterested party.


Man, I remember the days when people left SMTP servers open to be used as back-up relays. The good old days of the net when you didn't need locks on your doors.

it was a contest -- a contest for most ethical company! i knew the idea of MS winning was fucking hilarious so i don't be evil googl'd for about ten seconds and found out instantly it was bullshit. i look forward to more awesome posts from nvidious about how awesome ms is and how they have won all these cool totally legit and beyond reproach awards and stuff though

That is very cool. Nice to see companies put their minds together to actually do something useful.

Good on Microsoft. Now they need to go after the fuckers that run bots that autocreate web pages. Half the time a search on google leads you to pages of results that are bullshit.

Rustock, at its peak, was a botnet of around 2 million spam-sending zombies capable of sending out 30 billion spam email per day. Microsoft's wholesale slaughter of Rustock could reduce worldwide spam output by up to 39%.

Wow.

On a sidenote, I think it's cute the articled use gmail for the image. Gmail cut my spam interaction by 99%.


I wouldn't be surprised if spammers have moved on to bit torrent ish methods of distribution. If they haven't I'm sorry for given them the idea.

For using a now surpassed OS? Sure. I liked and used Windows XP for many years myself, but everything about Win 7 is better, even on alot of older hardware.
