So the owner of a company tauts his products. Someone call the news media.
And you left out the second part: "But Gates said giving away Microsoft software isn't intended to turn students against open source software entirely. Rather, he hopes it will just add one more tool to their belt." Not to mention that how "powerful" a development tool is is completely subjective. Neither you nor Bill can really make any claims to which is more "powerful" (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean anyways). |
