One, why would a Microsoft employee that is submitting a post related to
their employment be posting through Google Groups (as shown in the PATH
header) rather than through Microsoft's own NNTP server?

Two, Microsoft doesn't provide sufficient spam filtering to allow you to
use an unmunged e-mail address? Doesn't bode well for Microsoft if even
they can't figure out how to filter out the spam.

Three, why would a Microsoft employee be specifying a Hotmail e-mail
address in the From header of their post? You post with an unmunged
Hotmail e-mail address but want replies sent to a munged microsoft.com
e-mail address.

Four, the NNTP-Posting-Host shows you sent your post from a cable
account at Comcast (24.17.196.233 = c-24-17-196-233.client.comcast.net).
Microsoft has suddenly required their employees to make public
announcements from their home cable accounts?

So we have someone claiming to be a Microsoft representative who posts
through Google (instead of using Microsoft's own news server) from a
Comcast cable account who used a Hotmail account to register for a
Google Groups account and wants replies sent to a munged e-mail address
at Microsoft because they must not be capable of handling the spam and
virally-ladden e-mails that might arrive due to posting in newsgroups.
