I am not against of Microsoft, but what makes you think that this isn't going to get abused like everything else microsoft designs. There is going to be a serious flaw with this like everything else. If there is any kind of flaw with this system the spammers will find it and render it pointless this will be after companies have spent millions of $ on upgrading their mailservers.
Also according to microsofts terms of licensing for this callerid type system they can pull the plug on you at anytime so when they start to charge you for sending mail (and yes they have suggested this) you will have to use a Microsoft licensed mailserver. Or pay microsoft for every mail you send.
