Have a read of this clause:

*SNIP* And this clause: "10. Should New Zealand adopt an opt-in, double opt-in or opt-out approach in legislating against spam? Why? Microsoft believes that New Zealand should adopt the opt-out approach in legislation against spam." That really says it all. Not even opt-in, but straight opt-out. No wonder people have said that MS are posturing. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force. Get a bigger hammer."
