Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-you-thought-you-had-it-rought dept.

acehole writes "Bill Gates receives up to four million emails a day, and is probably the most spammed person in the world. But unlike ordinary users, he has an entire department to filter unsolicited " At least now I know why he never replies to my requests for an interview ;)

    This article assumes that Bill Gates is someone important in the email world. Is he? I don't think so. He didn't invent email. His company didn't invent email. In fact, Microsoft's level of innovation in the email space is exactly zero. So why do we care how much spam he gets? Yes, he's one of the world's most hated people, and his email address is widely known. So what?

    Can I offer you a class in reading comprehension? Original poster asked why Microsoft doesn't release the software created by the department. I responded that it probably is based on open source.
