Today's post should be the "Bill Gates" edition, since we've got a bunch of them.
- "Vista is so secure it could run life support systems". In their effort to summarize the quote, the author mislead people with their title. Gates said it could run hospitals, he never said anything about life support machines.
- Piracy worked for us, Romania president tells Gates. "Piracy helped the young generation discover computers. It set off the development of the IT industry in Romania." Ouch. I betcha Bill's not happy about that one, seeing as how 70% of software sold in that country is pirated. [via Engadget]
- Newsweek's Steven Levy asks, Finally, Vista Makes Its Debut. Now What? "And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it’s superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say? Does honesty matter in these things?" You tell em, Bill!
- Bill Gates left the "Daily Show" in a hurry. The Daily Show 'explains' why. I suspect the real reason he left is because he's used to walking offstage after he's done with keynotes, and his assistant didn't prep him correctly. But it was still really funny. [via Todd Bishop]
