Microsoft Going Against Spammers Again

When Bill Gates came out and said that Spam will be eradicated in a couple of years you knew that it wouldn't take too long for Redmond to put it in gear and start going not only after technology that stops spammers but also the giant's $$$ as well. Yahoo! reports that Microsoft has filed 8 new lawsuits against spammers.

Isn't it amazing how a giant company still can turn around on a dime when it's chief guy talks about stuff. "Microsoft is secure" and everything stops for several months to get secure. "Microsoft will stop spam" and $$$ and technology such as Exchange's Intelligent Messaging Filter comes out shortly thereafter.

Personally, I'm still waiting for the "Microsoft Licensing is not hard to figure out" speech and the "Microsoft Office 2003/XP is indeed necessary" speech so that $$$ for marketing and technology is focused on these things.

Reminds you of the US commercial a few years ago about "when we talk, people listen". Well when Bill Gates speaks, Microsoft employees are definitely listening now and for the forseeable future.
