As but one more piece of testamentary evidence that the old guard at Microsoft needs to be shown the door, Bill Gates has demonstrated conclusively that he has exactly zero understanding of open source, or at least zero desire to have an intelligent discussion about it.

The same could be said of the 8GB USB memory stick, although the Eee-PC-branded version does include a white leather strap, if that’s your kind of thing.
