Well I just posted on Jamie's space about this. I had written a blog entry about the Spam problem in April and had contacted Msft about it. You can read the blog entry here:

One of the reason I stopped blogging for a while was due to the Spam, it really spoiled my Spaces experience and I used to be a hardcore user. Just the day before, I had to manually delete 100+ spam comments in a single day and this morning around 80+. I hope these new updates will reduce spam as marcus has mentioned. I am glad something has been finally done about it! :)

can confirm Lorenc

new Home, spaces, profile, photos, people, events, groups, Skydrive 25gb with also Favorites (although Favorites 'content' aint there)

so that makes kindof all web services at wave 3 with hotmail and calendar at the wave 3 Revision 1 stage

fss-beta.live.com is the wave 3 version of Family Safety and is promoted from downloads.live.com and wave 3 services to this (although fss.live.com is still Wave 2!

Just wanted to let you guys know, Wave 3 got fully activated for me in 2 accounts. Including Photos, SkyDrive (25GB) Home, People, Profile, Spaces, Groups and Events. Pretty awesome so far.

Yeah, marcus's reply is great and all, but there's no actual evidence of anything he's claiming. Every single report of a spammer I've made has been ignored. They're not actively looking for anything, for sure.
