That would mean more e-mail spam and pop-ups, but those can be deleted and only fills up a "virtual" trash can.

And Email-Spam is easy to ignore, if you use something like Mozilla Thunderbird which has an inbuilt, trainable, junk mail filter. Popups are no problem, realy. IE is the only browser that you still need a third-party program to stop popups with, and XP SP2 is MS's first step toward fixing that (although, it's popup blocker reportedly nowhere near as good as Opera's or Firefox's).
