Story: Gates: Internet needs improvements

The only thing the Internet needs is active blocking of anything that isn't a 100% royalty free, with no strings attached whatsoever, industry (not vendor) standard. Either all can use it with equal rights or no-one can.
Yes, that will cause pain at first but in return we'll see a serious reduction in spam, botnets, hacks, cracks, latency and what not.
Don't agree? Think about it for a while and keep global, short term and long term, impact in mind. Pros and cons. Focus on causes, not symptoms.
As for Microsoft, given their history, they have a lot to proof first before I'll even consider believing them on their word.
