Of course, and I think the OP realized this very well, judging by the
subject of the posting. This hoax actually has an additional wrinkle
(I don't know if it is truly new, but it's a nice touch): The links in
it point (I think) to genuine M$ pages, which adds additional
credibility to the poor unwashed who care to navigate around.
