Um...yeah, but don't forget *this* was the guy that also predicted that
spam would be dead in two years, & that was in 2004:-
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/24/tech/main595595.shtml

However, it seems the spammers didn't take any notice of
Canut....er...Gates, as the tide increased by 13% in 2005, & broke
records in 2006:- http://www.virusbtn.com/news/spam_news/2006/11_01a.xml

Personally, I take very little notice of Gates & his predictions.
