Yeah, but he does have a point. I personally believe Mr. Gates is the
most dangerous man on the planet. Not necessarily evil, but definitely
on a power trip. He gives all the indications of wanting to control the
entire electromechanical industry. He doesn't just want to control the
software, he wants the hardware too. And means : toasters, blenders,
TVs, ovens, PDAs, phones, computers, networks, radios, multimedia,
automotive, etc. and also genetics (he's the number one genetic research
sponsor worldwide). That alone is reason enough to avoid any M$ product.

Coming soon to a planet near you William Gates No. 2 (not junior,
actually him in duplicate).

I predict if things continue in this vein eventually there will be one
corporation:

Microsoft-Sony-WTO or MSW for short.

It is actually much more complicated.
