$100 Laptop pisses off bill gates because he can't sell vista for itSubmitted by slashdoodle on March 17, 2006 - 12:44am.
From: Gates Mocks MIT's $100 Laptop Useless for Vista Well, yeah, it's useless for Vista. It turns out that poor people don't need eye-candy or bloat. Bill Gates is just annoyed that this laptop isn't running Windows. Microsoft was originally trying to get involved in this project, but they were not accepted, so now they're FUDing it. by mrchaotica (681592) (#14933837) Exactly. He's just pissed that the computer is going to run only Free Software. The reality is that Gates is blatantly lying when he says that applications and network connectivity are a bigger part of the cost than the hardware. First, the applications are (big and little-f) Free. Second, the network connectivity is free as well, because these things are designed to make their own mesh network. |
