Bill Gates' Big Blunder


Recommended Posts

The world's most arrogant CEO, Bill Gates, recently warned Asian governments that they may be sued if they use open source software, claiming they would be infringing on more than 100 patents that Microsoft owns (though Microsoft won't divulge any details of these patents).

I predict this strategy will blow up in Gates' greedy face. He may be able to bluff smaller, weaker countries, but I don't believe for one minute that China will surrender to Microsoft. China will tell Bill Gates to shove it, which could send Gates running to the World Trade Organization. Such a move could have two possible results:

1. The WTO could find against Microsoft, which could have disastrous consequences for Bill Gates, Inc.

2. The WTO could find in Microsoft's favor, in which case China would tell the WTO to shove it. And if China refuses to let the WTO dictate its choice of software, other nations may follow in open rebellion, leaving Bill Gates with egg all over his face.

So please continue with the threats, Bill.

P.S. What code does this forum use for links? I tired both [url=] and <a href="URL"> in my signature, but neither work.
