Gates has millions … of spam messages every day:
If you don’t think anybody else could possibly get any more spam than you, think of Bill Gates.
The Microsoft Corp. chairman receives about 4 million pieces of e-mail per day, most of it junk, says Steve Ballmer, the company’s chief executive.
Well, I don’t know that I feel any great sympathy for him: it’s likely that a lot of the junk originates with exploited Windows systems, either for addresses or the sending.
And this part did nothing to make me feel any empathy:
Thanks to technology developed by Microsoft, Ballmer said, only about 10 junk e-mails make it through to his inbox each day.
I have to assume this whizzy new stuff runs on their servers, so it’s not something one could expect in a service pack for end-users, but what is stopping them from making it available for enterprises that run Exchange servers?
