...The InformationWeek article.

...Teaser:

Microsoft is investigating 13 spam operations as part of a call to action against zombies, which are compromised computers used without their owners' permission to send spam, launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and spread worms and viruses.

EDIT: Fixed URL (thanks, Lking!).

No offense but the link is from Oct. 27, 2005

with over a month it looks like they are not doing so well.  (Yet)

I think you missed the following quote
"Hopefully, we'll be able to turn over the results of our investigation for criminal prosecution under CAN-spam," Cranton added. "We need to take a few more steps, but in the next two to three months, I think we can name these spammers."
So it is a bit too early to judge. I hope that Microsoft does actually follow through.

...No offense taken. :) It's taken me this long to get to the November 7 issue of InformationWeek which had a note about this blog article.
