Bill Gates May Be Single Most Spammed Person

Steve Ballmer stated at a Singapore conference that Bill Gates, "...receives 4 million pieces of e-mail per day, most of it spam".

"There are two people who probably are the number one spam recipients in the world," Ballmer said, referring to Bill Gates and himself. "Bill Gates (is number one) because he is Bill Gates."

According to wire reports, Ballmer also commented, "And so we have special technology which just filters (spam). Literally there's a whole department almost that takes care of it."

I'm wondering where is this "special technology"? I can't find it in Microsoft Outlook. Of course, how special could it be when you need a whole department to run it....
