- inactive, on 11/17/2007, -0/+14haha, no. seriously, i was expecting a way better photoshop than that.

- basic0, on 11/17/2007, -2/+5This isn't a picture of Bill Gates using Linux, it's a picture of Linux tolerating Bill Gates and his lack of fashion sense.
- AdamTReineke, on 11/17/2007, -2/+5He is just using Linux because, even though he extremely rich, he refuses to waste his money on Vista.

- inactive, on 11/17/2007, -0/+2Actually, just got a beta version of Server 2008. It is surprisingly very tolerable of our linux servers.

Digg/Ubuntu/I Hate bush/down with microsoft .... umm what else? - ImperfectFreak, on 11/17/2007, -0/+0When I was at the William Gates CS center at Stanford. I noticed that the touchscreen had the X11 X bouncing around, it made me smile.
- sirhomer, on 11/17/2007, -8/+5I bet Bill Gates is secretly a Digg/Ubuntu fanboy.
- schestowitz, on 11/17/2007, -22/+1Old and rather silly, especially given how much Gates hates Linux (see for example http://digg.com/linux_unix/Newly_leaked_Antitrust_ ... ). Microsoft does not talks about Linux with humour. It wants it dead. Watch the Halloween Documents for example.
And let's not get started with Bill Gates' type A personality (the stuff the media hides from you, because of the gates Foundation's secret holdings in media), e.g.:

'At some point in your presentation billg will say “that’s the dumbest ***** idea I’ve heard since I’ve been at Microsoft.” He looks like he means it. However, since you knew he was going to say this, you can’t really let it faze you. Moreover, you can’t afford to look fazed; remember: he’s a bully.'

'My father, in his travels, has met Bill Gates. I don’t think I’d be creating a problem for him now (as he recently retired) by saying that he was unimpressed. Apparently Gates was rude, he was distracted, and when he sat, he rocked back and forth in his chair, an action which reminded my Dad of people with dementia.'

' In my BillG review meeting, the whole reporting hierarchy was there, along with their cousins, sisters, and aunts, and a person who came along from my team whose whole job during the meeting was to keep an accurate count of how many times Bill said the F word. The lower the f***-count, the better.
[…]
Four,” announced the f*** counter, and everyone said, “wow, that’s the lowest I can remember. Bill is getting mellow in his old age.” He was, you know, 36.
Later I had it explained to me. “Bill doesn’t really want to review your spec, he just wants to make sure you’ve got it under control. His standard M.O. is to ask harder and harder questions until you admit that you don’t know, and then he can yell at you for being unprepared. Nobody was really sure what happens if you answer the hardest question he can come up with because it’s never happened before.” '

A few issues … Got a call from Gary Perez (our OEM HP Acct Mgr) this morning. They are telling HP that they wil NOT be part of this launch and that BillG has said “fxxk HP (all divisions) if they won’t sign a Windows license.” '
Anyway, case of point is that you shouldn't give that guy thgis type of attention. These are very predatory minds.
