Bill Gates Office desk has three NEC-21" computer monitors (see picture) synchronized to form a single desktop. The screen on the left has a list of e-mails. On the center screen is usually the specific e-mail he is reading and responding to. And a browser (IE, ofcourse) is on the right-hand screen.

How Bill Gates manages millions of email messages everyday ?
Bill receives email only from companies or individuals that he has ever corresponded with. Bill uses Outlook Rules and Search Folders to sort emails. His assistants read the other email messages that don't reach his desktop.
