Edition 2005 at the Digital Entertainment Anywhere launch event held in
Los Angeles, October 12, 2004. [Reuters] | E-mail users inundated with unsolicited "spam" messages have reason to hope
Microsoft Corp. will develop better tools for tackling the problem: Bill
Gates is suffering more than anyone.
Gates, Microsoft's chairman, gets 4 million e-mails a day and is probably the
most "spammed" person in the world, his Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer
said Thursday.
However, only a few junk e-mails gets through to Gates's inbox thanks to
anti-spam technology that filters his messages, Ballmer said at a Microsoft
event in Singapore.
Spam e-mails touting everything from aphrodisiacs to home loans are believed
to account for over 80 percent of Internet traffic.
