I find it works about 80% of the time. I also have my ISP flag junk mail with "JUNK" in the headers and yeah about 20 % of those come through windows "live" mail uncaught.

I think the problem is, it is 100% unacceptable to most people to ever throw away a legitimate piece of email. Given that it's impossible to be 100% accurate, I assume that MS has erred on the side of caution to not get tons of flak for throwing away real mail even on the high setting :(

My ISP junk tagging does in deed tag a legitimate mail about once every several thousand spams (which is about once a month for me). If Windows mail threw away an important bank statement like that, they'd probably be sued for billions or something...
