Just saw this on Engadget, it made me smile:

Sort of extreme really, and quite funny Bill Gate's kids asked for an iPod!

Are you trying to cause a fight? ;)

... hypocrite.

If I was I could deflect your accusations by posting a link to the other thread, but no. Stop assuming I hate Microsoft you jerks! I think it's just funny/interesting.

^ You do hate Microsoft, your poor attempts at pretending you don't don't work.

Sounds good to me, his house will be able to connect with the Zune and Microsoft stuff, Apple stuff will not. Makes perfect sense.

Wrong. Please refer to Tom's signature, you will find that I do not hate everything Microsoft :)

What I do hate is people who assume the worst about other people. I thought this was funny and so I posted it. If you think I hate everything Microsoft you'll just have to get over it I'm afraid.

A quote doesn't make what you say factual.

Isn't calling someone a jerk rude, and therefore against the rules?

To be fair, I doubt Steve Jobs uses a windows laptop - I don't see why this matters.

Then I will happily repeat that I do not hate Microsoft and politely encourage you to read the latter of my post again :)

On the topic itself I have often wondered if the families of the higher ups in corporations allow their families to use competitive products. I'd be equally curious to know if Jobs kids can use Windows products, if the CEO of Coke lets his kids drink Pepsi, if higher up Ford employees own anything other, etc.

Usually, but not when Tom and Matt are my friends and they're teasing me :P

Why would anyone at Ford buy a different brand car when they can get big discounts/free cars from Ford? Obviously if they are very high up they might fancy a ferrari..

Same goes for everything, and Pepsi and Coke are totally different aren't they? Also you couldn't really stop your kids drinking pepsi lol And I would be very surprised if Jobs lets his kids use Windows products.
