"But he confirmed that Microsoft is investigating three different solutions to rid inboxes from the clutter of unsolicited bulk emails. Although he did not give any details, Gates's pledge - that he would rid the world of spam within two years - will be welcomed by computer users."

Do we know what any of these 3 different solutions were? Or did it just amount to "use Exchange and let Microsoft sort it out"?
