It's just not as important as it used to be and is easily punished (inlcuding a possible MS ban) if for example you use the same image on a number of pages but change the alt tag to suite each page. The terrible voice of experience talking. No argument there, they do take it into account but with MSN you used to be able to rank for competitive searches by careful use of your top 3 alt tags.

Take for example the rss button, if you just describe the button with the alt tag as alt="RSS" is not overusing while alt="This is my rss button, please subscribe to my RSS to read my posts through RSS" would be stuffing and overusing the alt tag. I did mention on the post that once i had a typo on the alt tag of the image, and i did received organic traffic (precisely from Google) from someone that had made a typo during his search query. I would say that even Google and Yahoo to give some weight to image alt tag. There is a big difference between giving a description to the image and keyword stuffing it.

Microsofts various search efforts did at one time take great interest of the alt tag, Yahoo and Google less so but in the last 6 months things have changed. Over using your alt tags for SEO is as bad a mistake and gets punished just as harshly as hidden text. All fair points, except the alt tags.
