4M Emails a Day

4 million e-mail messages. That's a lot of mail. And it is just what Bill Gates gets in one day.
Apparently most of it is spam, and they have a whole department to deal with it:

allmer said Microsoft has special technology that just filters spam intended for Gates. In addition, several Microsoft employees are dedicated to ensuring that nothing unwanted gets into his inbox.

No wonder he wants to crack down on spam, just his own inbox alone is costing him a fortune.
