Are you dumb? This quote is total stupidity. It shows you know nothing about the computer industry.

Bill Gates bought shares of Apple Computer stock to keep it alive. It also sells software that supports the Macintosh. The reason they did this is so the Justice Department won't think it's become a Monopoly. Bill Gates wants Apple to stay alive and I'm sure if he saw your comments of the Mac, he'd think you were pretty damn dumb. Microsoft has borrowed alot of technology from Apple, just as Apple has done the same from Microsoft.
A real computer guru (or even car guru for that matter) can see positives in every competiting product. I'm surprised that on your page you don't call every black a "nigger" and think every jewish person should die.
Hilters don't survive in the business world.
Rofl.. I must thank you for the late-night entertainment your note has provided me :). Let me ask you something - When someone tells you a joke, do you sit down and analyze it to make sure all of the facts in it are correct? Did you have some kind of bad experiences as a child in which you lost the meaning of the word "humor"? You are obviously a macintosh drone and have lost all capability to think for yourself about anything not explicitly explained to you in your macintosh's user manual.
On the lighter side.. I personally pity you for being so anal - check a mirror sometime and make sure you pull that telephone pole out. I am continually amazed at the general stupidity of most people, and you have provided me with yet another perfect example. The quote above is obviously a joke, playing on most people's view of Bill Gates' attitude towards his competition - Wether this approach is healthy for the industry or not is what it debates. It is not a representation of my outlook on the computer industry at all, it is simply a funny comment picked up from someplace. Whenever your brain decides to start functioning again, I hope that you get as much enjoyment out of reading your little note as I have. Just the idea that someone could actually come up with a response such as you have (and take it seriously) is almost funnier than the quote itself - Thanks!
