According to Bill Gates "Spam will be a thing of the past in two years’ time." This miracle will be achieved, of course, using software created by the Big Monopoly. Based on the BM’s past history, the first version of that magic software will be at least a year late and will be so full of bugs to be largely unusable. The second version will be better and they will finally get a workable product with version 3. The more likely scenerio is that someone else will create the technology first and the BM will either buy it or steal it. Bottom line, don’t hold your breath.

In another part of the same interview, Bill compliments the people and technology behind Google. Be afraid, Google! Be very afraid!!

And while we’re on the subject of The BM, it seems Billy will be receiving a knighthood from the Queen of England. Thanks for the link goes to Slashdot where the discussion on this topic is hot and not especially kind!
