Evening tech news: Microsoft's founder and chairman Bill Gates from his far-flung rank and file than Bill Gates can from his corporate monolith."

I think I'll be more careful of the trojan viri that seem to come with every piece of M$ sh*tware.
-d.
anything that's not Gates' vision can't be good for ya now can it? If he really cared he would have made his c*** secure way back when instead of going full out to get it on the web and crush everybody else. A closed desktop system that he couldn't bother to secure because there were people out there actually thinking of new ways to do business. This is the man that repeatedly said in '95 that the web was a fad and M$ wouldn't be getting into it. Yeah, he's got vision allright.
Yes, we wouldn't want our software to be too utile, would we?
Unix of the 70's is still better than the Windows of the 2000's
in the same sentence is an oxymoron.
what does he know about computers?
Does he have a degree?
We live in an ironic era when one of the largest and richest companies on the planet is willing to sit there and unashamedly say that a grassroots movement to develop free software and let anyone tinker with it is some sort of threat.
Between this statement and MS's likening IBM and their Linux strategy to the blue pill in the Matrix, it's almost pathetic--is anyone, anywhere, really stupid enough to see Microsoft, the Big Brother of the current computing industry, as a revolutionary Neo-like hacker? Do they really believe what they're saying?
I could stomach a monolith like IBM in the 70s and early 80s being giant and evil, and just not caring. But now MS is not only giant and evil, but they've got to pretend they're cool at the same time? Accept your place, guys.
And what, exactly, is so terrible about being like UNIX of the 70s?
this rat bag looking idiot (but a billionaire) simply is NOT a visionary. Just a selfish ugly jerk like his monkey boy.
windoze wishes it had the integrity of Linux or Mac OS.
... with Linux and utility computing, my windows worshippers!!! Be very, VERY CAREFUL!!! Most of you have never used a functional, modern and working operating system before. Trust me - they're dangerous!!!

Do we really care?
What Bill Gates thinks of Linux? I'm just glad Mac OS X isn't the only OS in it's crosshairs. Attack windows from all sides I say. I wish we had more challengers.
