SINGAPORE (AP) - Bill Gates might not use AOL, but he's definitely got mail. The Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) chairman receives millions of Internet messages a day, said Steve Ballmer, the company's chief executive. "Bill literally receives 4 million pieces of e-mail per day, most of it spam," Ballmer said Thursday.
Spam or junk e-mails are unsolicited messages, generally advertising goods or services and usually sent to many e-mail accounts simultaneously.
Ballmer said Microsoft has special technology that just filters spam intended for Gates.
Now what about the rest of us???

They still need to build a version that destroys any 3rd party spam filtering software on your computer.

70% of the world's spam comes from China. It's not going to have much impact.

I think he was scamming as much as spamming -- but it's a start.
