| 382842 | 2005-08-21 23:36:00 | Seems MS want the right for themselves and their partners to send spam while only those they dislike are to be regulated, Even going so far as to fly over in a forked tounge rep to sway the NZ Government, Lets hope the Government has the balls to tell them to get shafted and applies the regulations against MS. Quoted from the article He also wants definitions in the bill changed so that companies would be able to e-mail information about new products and services to customers, even if they had opted out of receiving e-mail about other services they had bought from the company in the past. Isn't that a perfect example of Spam? If its fine and dandy for MS to mail you when you have opted out then surely that would apply to everyone else as well..... |

| 382843 | 2005-08-22 00:46:00 | It sounds a bit on the nose - where did you get that snippet from? And it would be the thin end of the wedge too...imagine Intel or AMD want to send out information to users even if they opted out, or Seagate / Western Digital, Philips / Viewsonic, etc etc etc. A |

| 382844 | 2005-08-22 01:12:00 | www.stuff.co.nz He says businesses ought to be able to send unsolicited e-mail to people even if they are unsure if they have a pre-existing business relationship with them. Uh? This is from the guy who heads the MS Anti-Spam devision...... No wonder we are screwed, MS are crack heads. |

| 382847 | 2005-08-22 06:21:00 | Is that one of those wonderful inclinometers that is used to measure the difficulty of pushing smelly stuff uphill? Sounds like MS have their eye on the ball to me :thumbs: |
