Hey Bill, you're running what?

Look at the 2 monitors behind him in the static shot. Way to plug your products there, Bill!

looks chopped

That's hilarious! :D

Almost as funny as Billy completely writing off Nintendo as competition.

looks chopped

Agreed. Looks like that was added and scaled. Poorly.

Yeah.. here's the original:

Does Bill really care...I don't think so...xbox360 is doing 10+Million and he's rich B****!:D



Bless

[yellow]

Looks like Outlook or something to me..

Of course, what are the chances that's actually Bill's office? Don't you think that CEO (at the time) of one of the richest companies in the world could afford more than a desk set from Ikea? :D

Yeah, Bill just got whatever portion of $600 from me in the last 2 days on purchasing an XBox 360.

does anyone really care ?

I read once that Bill had a powerbook as well. He's tech savy I'm sure he has a load of Sony equipment at home too.

He is a just a man with a life outside of M$ with his wife and children too. :rolleyes:

Just dont get what people are 'getting off' on ?

Seconded!

Who cares?

Nah, couldn't be... the Dual, Quad-core processors would probably melt the case if it were solid gold. :)

I am a Mac-Nintendo child of the eighties. Microsoft and Sega will always be the goddamn devil to me. Seeing F-Zero GX's big "Sega," and now even moreso the VC, is sweet, sweet revenge. Meanwhile, grappling with MS Office at work (hey! let's remove a whole para's formatting if I hit backspace to delete a line break! great feature!) sustains my loathing of Bill & co.

I won't flame anyone for owning a Mac AND a 360, or running iTunes on Windows. It's just a personal, ingrained thing.

Hell, I still have the "Bash Big Blue" game for the old 512K, in which you destroy a frantic IBM logo. That's a keeper - glad to see, in true Orwellian fashion, that we are again and always at war with Eastasia!

You're thinking of the iMac G5, I think. :rolleyes:

[Markleshark]

Hes running Boot Camp anyway...

But seriously, 1) Why is this in the games forum? 2) Who actually does care?...

[yellow]

But seriously, 1) Why is this in the games forum?

Because the linked article is about Nintendo versus XBox.

That'll tech me! :rolleyes:

[sikkinixx]

doesn Bill own a ton of stock in Apple anyway?

Well M$ does, but yeah. Still I just dont get some people I'm afraid. Nothing to see here, move along :)

[evilgEEk]

Bah!

This thread is double-sided, people. Yeah, the chopped monitors in the back were amusing, but the article was discussing the fact that Microshaft now sees Nintendo as a competitor.

Of course there's another thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=268617) regarding this now.
