Office 2003

So I finally installed Microsoft Office 2003. I disliked the new interface at first, but after a few days, it�s grown on me. I can�t say there is anything objectively better about all the new icons � more like the latest fad in UI design. You can be sure that in a few months, all the new software will be sportin� the new �shiny� icons. What Windows really needs, is SVG icon support. There aren�t that many new features I found all that useful, except SPAM filtering and the new Outlook 2003 layout, which is very neat with two monitors. Unfortunately, my server-side SPAM filter thinks all mail from Outlook 2003 is forged.

In related news, it seems that spammers are either using my account to send spam or faking my return address in their spam, so I�ve been getting hundreds of bounced emails and �unsubscribe requests� daily for the last few weeks. I�m not sure what I can do about the forged return address, but for now, I�ve disabled my wildcard email addresses so that only [email protected] will receive email. Whatever the case, it�s clear that my domain was singled out by spammer(s).
