    It's usually "roll eyes", then
    Delete it, swear, get on with your day

    :)

    The amount of people who forward these things "just in case" is absurd.

    What a load of poppycock.

    I forward it straight back to the person that sent me it x 100.

    Most of the time I delete it. Sometimes I like to reply back with something like

    Stop sending this immediately. This is spam and microsoft has filed a class action lawsuit on everyone that keeps sending it out, because it is making the company look bad. They've already collected money from a few thousand people. It's just like downloading illegal music. They're finding out who's doing it and their suing them and winning.

    People dumb enough to foward emails like this usually breathe from their mouths and believe anything. I actually got that very email from a group of people that I graduated with and ended up on a class reunion email list. One guy finally responded back by saying he has a businness partnership with Microsoft and this is fake. He runs a 1 man computer repair shop. lol
