Why is Hotmail so bad at spam?

What?

Your complaining about spam in FREE email... This is the most stupid article I've read on the register to date. I've been using the same hotmail address for 3 years and get ZERO spam. Manage your address properly, and you wont have this problem.

2. The majority of problems on any PC occur between the keyboard and the chair. So, users are pretty quick to tell you the problem is the computer and not them to try and hide a lack of competence.

3. What is the current install base of Vista? More users... more problems... No?
