Erik must have missed the news in one of the sources I cited before. The Gates
Foundation was mentioned as a funder. If Erik and his supervisor at the Vole
disagree with this, they ought to contact the publication (PC Advisor, IIRC).

I look at the original subject line and it's correct. The accusation against me
is incorrect because Microsoft wants not dual-boot, but WINDOWS-ONLY. That's
based on this morning's news...
