Microsoft is committed to "working with the government and the entire industry to build a more secure computing infrastructure here and around the world," Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman, told a technology conference in Washington on Wednesday.

If spammers survive on 0.0001% response rate, how many people are actually clicking/buying? Are these people who provide the customers for spammers going to stop or use any sort of filters?
