Meeting Bill Gates
,----[ Quote ]
| We did talk about Microsoft a little. When I mentioned I work for the
| Windows Live platform group he mentioned that this would be an
| interesting area to be in over the next few years and commented on a
| number of Windows Live services such as Windows Live Spaces, Windows
| Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail...
|
| The meeting ran over by 15 minutes and I felt bad for taking up so much
| of his time. As I was leaving the building I overheard the following
| exchange between the receptionist of the building and a visitor
|
| Visitor: Where is Bill Gates's office?
| Receptionist: I'm not at liberty to divulge that information.
| Visitor: I need to see him, I just downloaded Windows Vista and I
| have a number of complaints.

I thought that Gates went to Nigeria only to discuss AIDS, not business and
Windows evangelism.

There was an attempt to get an OLPC copycat that runs Win[tel]dows.
