I'd believe $500M on a forklift upgrade of the entire Hotmail/MSN infrastructure if it had to deal with both the added volume of mail and the added resource expense of filtering spam. If they're seeing 2G spams/day, they're doing about 2,000 times our volume - and our mail hub setup is about $500K (and those of you who say that's too expensive, tough ;). So they're about 1,000 times as much money for 2,000 as much volume - so in the right ballbark.
