NPR's Bob Edwards aired an interview this morning with Ryan Hamlin, Microsoft's general manager of anti-spam technology, who recapped some of the initiatives that Bill Gates outlined in his speech in Switzerland a couple weeks ago. Access the online audio here. Here's how the interview ended:
Bob Edwards: 'But you feel there will come be a point at which the spammers will not outsmart you and will not be able to get into the system if we users don't want them there?'
Ryan Hamlin: 'I do believe that's the case. I share that same passion and vision that Bill (has). We all aspire for the spam-free future in the next 24 months, and I do believe we can contain it in the next 24 months.'
Bob Edwards: 'Well good luck. [Both laugh] Excuse my skepticism. ... It comes naturally.'"
