Bill Gates gets his share

Of spam, that is.

This morning I was listening to CNN Headline News on XM, and they had a special report on the renewed browser wars, siting some statistics between FireFox and IE. Blah blah blah - we all know about IE's imminent fall. Here's the interesting tidbit they added.

Apparently, Bill Gates gets approximately 4 million emails every day, almost all of which are spam. According to CNN, Microsoft's filters catch the majority of it, but a portion still gets through.

There's a certain satisfaction in knowing Billy might have to sift through and delete a couple thousand spam messages in any given day. 4 million total though...that's pretty bad...

He probably doesn't read any of it you know, or he'll have someone else delete the spam and archive / forward personal mail. All that money, I doubt he'll sit deleting spam ;)
