Gates Mocks MIT's $100 Laptop

I think somebody might be in sour grapes mode after Windows was rejected as the OS for the MIT $100 Laptop, for use in underdeveloped nations:

“The last thing you want to do for a shared use computer is have it be something without a disk … and with a tiny little screen,” Gates said at the Microsoft Government Leaders Forum in suburban Washington. ”...geez, get a decent computer where you can actually read the text and you’re not sitting there cranking the thing while you’re trying to type.”

Sometimes you see the real Bill, unvarnished by his well-chosen PR flacks. I don’t think Billionaires are the target market for a $100 laptop, so stick a sock in it, jackass.
