Microsoft chokes Hotmail to stop spam (ZDNet) -- "Microsoft's MSN Hotmail, a free Web-based e-mail service, has tightened restrictions on daily outbound messages sent by subscribers, a tactic it says will help curb spam." (Comments: Thanks Ronnie Cooke.)

I especially like the guy who was moaning about having to split up his emails for his newsletter because of the new cap on the number of emails that can go out in a day. Is he aware he's using a free service?

Personally, I think a limit is a good idea. Yahoo spam filters work really well (for me, at least), and if they have a similar measure in place already, perhaps that is the key to why.

Look forward to seeing an operating system that comes with a security tool that auto updates against virus and spam protection. Perhaps Longhorn? I would be happy to pay a little extra to have this included in a new OS purchase without having to hunt around for extra add ons.
