my questions:

    how will this new ms product spread viruses?  every other ms product
    has this feature and anti-virus s/w authors have to feed their
    families too.  we can't have virus-free ms s/w being written - that
    could destroy the economy.

    will the blue screen for the site be valid html/css?

    will the search paperclip be windows only, or will there be a more
    cross-platform flash version?

    what will be the ms equivilent to googlewacking?  my idea is what
    are the fewest words you can add to your name that will bring up a
    link to a microsoft.com page on software piracy.
