Microsoft quickly seized some of these machines located in the U.S. for further analysis,

Although I like the spammers being taken down, I wonder when Microsoft was granted general police powers? Maybe Obama didn't read the fine print in the license agreement when he installed Windows on a White House computer.

That was my first thought also!! Nice they stopped the spam but since when can a business “seize” anything?

I'd suspect that it's a case of sloppy reporting. In all likelihood, law enforcement agencies seized the computers and then turned them over to Microsoft for the analysis.
