So, the si
As I said, I'm aware of the quote (and it wasn't Gates who said it, it was an
Apple VP). My point was that you try to equate selling software with war
profiteering & such. I obviously didn't pick the
best part of your message to quote.

What's wrong with making a buck off of a war, people do this.
I'm afraid you haven't got the message. I know there's a lot of
great companies that have done this. Bell Labs, for one.
Messerschmitt for another. Mitsubishi. Ford. General Motors.
Name the ones that haven't profited from war.

There aren't any dead babies. A little perspective would be nice.
It isn't as bad as it looks. It's an OS, not a war crime.
Sure, a lot of people don't like it. A lot of people don't like a lot

about. He's a war profiteer, maybe? He's been selling munitions to terrorists?

They too gave away much of their questionable gains to great causes.
A cleansing experience, I guess. Doesn't justify how they got
that money. And Gates goes from "Knife the baby" to savior...
I thought Balmer was the baby knifer. No?

Yes, Gates and his backers make the biggest philanthropy ever. Reminds me of
the big capitalists like Andrew Carnegie and Mellon. They too gave away much
of their questionable gains to great causes. A cleansing experience, I guess.

Pledges 10 Billion dollars to vaccines, could save as many as 8 million

Has anyone ever even come close to doing this much good with their

I knew Tom would be the first to complain about saving kids.
BTW, it's not YOUR money or MINE...it's HIS...you gave it to him if you
bought an MS product, he didn't take it.
