    SEATTLE (Reuters) - A federal judge in California awarded Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) $4 million after finding that a California man and his company had sent spam, or unsolicited e-mail, to users of its MSN and Hotmail services to get them to download a toolbar onto their computer desktops.

      AOL sent attorneys to track down one guy I know in his apartment in Asia to serve him with papers for a 1.3 mil lawsuit.

        I would think if you are a spammer or doing tool bars, you had better get in another line of business.

                I'm glad they went after a toolbar spammer. Seems they only did it because he was directing people to a domain with "windows" in it, but still..

                You've read it, you can't unread it.

                      Why does Microsoft get all the cash? How about sharing with all the people who got tricked into downloading some lame toolbar or the rest of the people who had to deal with the tons of junk mail.

                                Programs should worry they might be jointly liable by a company some day.
