Here's some more huge clues: None of the links in the email function. Also: The names of the actual companies and products mentioned herein are the trademarks of their respective owners.

Microsoft wouldn't have to include that if the e-mail came from them.






Also, a very bizarre spam e-mail is going around. It is a joke/hoax, but don't click on the link unless you want spyware and tracking cookies installed--and you don't want them. Trust me:
