Warning! Email purporting to be from MS

I just received an email from "(e-mail address removed)" with the subject
"Internet Explorer Downloads" which offered me a chance to download IE7
Beta. Yeah, I'm sure going to jump right on that one. Whoever is trying
to put a virus, malware or whatever on my computer should know that it's
a little late for an IE7 Beta. Just a warning, not that I think that
people who read this ng will fall for it.
