Nope, I use Linux-based applications on my machine, with no Microsoft
anywhere. It is so nice to not have to worry about viruses, but even
when I used MS I always had virus protection software running.


AFAIK, it's using someone's email addres book to send the spam. It's
got nada to do wtih Microsoft at the receiveing end, if I understand it
