Linux/Unix teams have been working for these objects for a few years. There centeral spam identifying system have been attacked by spammer to try to bring them down.

Basicly Gates is taking credit for something that he has had almost nothing to deal with.

Linux/Unix systems have been using the challege system for a while. Systems set up with reject untraceable have been defeated. Them spammers are now virus infecting windows systems and still spamming from correct address. Now a more effect from Bill Gates whould have been to provide a windows repacement system. Ie windows 98 and older fixes to stop spammers using them. Give mags the right to publish the patchs to MS OS's so that system don't get breached and used as a spammers platform.

How dare he take creat for work his company had no part in. The linux/Unix teams have been working flat out on this problem and microsoft has been sitting there doing nothing. They are late to the party and should have there tail kick because they are claiming to be leading the pack in most things.

All linux/unix systems need is some laws in place we have the software and the tech. Just linux/unix systems have been booting microsoft system due to infective ways of informing the windows users of a breach due to breach of standards. Note a lot of the breachs to internet standards lead to these problems not being stop able.
