| Thats not the way I see it. On a particularly interesting article from April
| 2008, Bill Gates is reported as saying:
|
| “I think if you invent drugs, you should be able to charge for them,”

| I believe that Microsoft is getting the RC out to the masses quickly and
| before the EU makes any ruling. That way, if it does, people will already
| have Windows 7 on their machines. It is reported on Boycott Novell that Bill
| Gates has in the past said words to the effect of “get them hooked, we’ll
| work out how to get a return later” If this is correct then in my opinion
| its like the local drug dealer giving out freebies to the kids prior to the
| drug becoming illegal expecting a return from the addicts at a later date.
|
| Think my example is a little OTT? Well its Bill Gates mentioning drugs, not
| me.

| "Microsoft's strategy of getting developing nations hooked on its
| software was clearly outlined by Bill Gates almost a decade ago," said
| Con Zymaris, CEO of long-standing open source firm Cybersource.
|
| Specifically, Bill Gates, citing China as an example, said:
|
| "Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but
| people don't pay for the software," he said. "Someday they will, though.
| As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours.
| They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to
| collect sometime in the next decade."[1]

| Adobe is where the 'apps' are manufactured. These apps that have the

| all these, like, stars, and they were rotating. It really captured

| the vacant expression of a man who has spent hours looking at a
| screen. Nigel has now discovered he needs glasses.
