Bill Gates Unplugged
Uploaded by: carnegiemellonu
Video Description:
Carnegie Mellon was the final stop on Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates' recent tour of several nationally recognized universities.
As founder, chairman and former CEO of Microsoft, Gates revolutionized personal computing in the digital information age. His talk at Carnegie Mellon concluded his farewell lecture tour as he transitions from Microsoft into his new role in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, whose mission it is to bring innovations in health and learning to the global community.
Microsoft is one of the university's top corporate supporters, partnering with Carnegie Mellon in many ways. More than 300 university alumni currently work at Microsoft offices around the globe. Carnegie Mellon is also home to the Microsoft Research-sponsored Center for Computational Thinking, launched in March 2007 in an effort to stimulate collaborative research and educational partnerships. With a lead gift of $20 million, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has made possible the Gates Center, one of two groundbreaking buildings that will create Carnegie Mellon's new School of Computer Science Complex.

Bill is successfull not because of shrewd business tactics, but because he IS an "average joe"
PLEASE, I beg of you, to PLEASE leave my beloved country & precious continent OUT OF YOUR HIV & so-called BOGUS AID$ programmes.
STOP funding the KFF & SA's TAC PLEASE!
This is nothing short of GENOCIDE, & for as long as you support VACCINES & ARVs, you TOO are a part of this GENOCIDE!
Please Mr & Mrs Gates, WAKE UP & research where you are donating huge sums & exactly what these donations are resulting in!
INADVERTENTLY, YOU too are KILLING innocent PEOPLE!
This went into my favorites!
The guy disgusts me.
I look up to people like Mark Shuttleworth who is giving us Ubuntu Linux for free with his time and money, while Windows is still proprietary and at cost.
With Linux I can install it on as many computers as I want, legally, and share it.
Does Bill Gates know the meaning and value of the word, "share"?
With people like Mark Shuttleworth, WE win, communities win.
WAKE UP! and look around you, you are living in his world, he basically architected modern technology.
So Fuck You! with a Microsoft Vibrator!
Please go read about the U.S. vs. Microsoft Antitrust case. Read about the OEMs and Windows.
IMO: I find nothing convenient about Microsoft's products. I find them restricting and limiting, and I don't feel they offer me freedom, especially the freedom that Linux and free, open source software does.
Nothing is stopping people from paying for FOSS or its development. How many websites run Linux and Apache? Check for yourself
OK use the freeware as you wish.

Then, how many people use the Windows and Offices compare to the amount of linux users?
"OK use the freeware as you wish."
As if I needed anyone's permission! And it's free AND open software we're talking about, not simply freeware which could include proprietary software, something I am against.

Did you read the U.S. vs. Microsoft Antitrust case I referenced in my post?
