And if you believe Bill does that because he is magnanimous, I have a bridge to sell you.

It's free advertising and PR. Bill will do whatever he thinks will give him control over the most computers and ultimately, your interface to the world. I can take everything about Microsoft except their bent for world domination. One day, if you're not careful, your car, all your appliances, etc, will all have an interface designed by Microsoft. I'll be living with the Amish.

In MS's deal with AT&T, notice that WINCE (appropriate name) will be going into a bazillion cable boxes. Oh, goody. How long do you think it will be before MS is collecting info about your viewing habits?

This has gone way off-topic. It's about time I compare Gates to Hitler.
