It was two years ago Bill Gates said this. Is he right, have we got rid of spam? NO!!!!

Refalm:
Microsoft did do something. They tried to shove Sender-ID down the throats of several ISP's, and only AOL agreed.

It was proven that Sender-ID is flawed, and that Yahoo!'s anti-spam system is totally better. So far, only Yahoo! Mail has implemented their own system.

Good one...

Pathos:
Spam isn't gone but I've read some good things about it diminishing.

Spammers are getting less and less cash for their work and ISP's are hitting them with legal actions.

It hasn't really diminished in volume because Spammers are increasing the spam to make up for the dwindling profits.
