How do you know he's never used a Zune? I had the "pleasure" of using one for a week and hated it. Mind you this was during the whole fiasco where installing the software for it wasn't working on MANY computers.
Things have changed since then, but as Microsoft knows all too well, first impressions are everything (Vista, case in point. Nice OS (now that its been fixed up) but HORRIBLE reputation that forced them to rebrand to win7).

clueless members making clueless comments about other peoples clueless comments.
the zune is cool. i have a 30gb and an 80gb. so ive lived throughout the entire collection of zune generations. i personally hate the zune OS and the zune software for the computer. i do, however, LOVE the subscription serves for the "all you can eat" plan.
the ipod is cool. ive had multiple generations, as well as my 16gb iphone. i love itunes on my mac and on all my pc's. i hate the fact that there is no "all you can eat" plan for itunes. but i do, however, LOVE the UI and how simple everything is.
why am i even commenting on all of this?
because i hate fan boy bashers more than fan boys.
if someone particularly doesnt like the zune for no reason whatsoever, then they are a douche.
if someone finds the need to go about calling out people and labeling them as internet stereotypes...they are bigger douches.
LOL!!! Did you think before honestly saying that??? Why would they want anything Microsoft lol
Honestly though I have wondered before, there must be SOME PCs at Apple headquarters that they use at least in their development of Windows apps etc and visa versa with Macs at Microsoft so they can copy everything lol
Why would that be Macs can run windows.
True, but im 100% sure that as with all companies, they have some competitors products laying around to see what they have to offer.
On the bright side for his kids, they don't need to do drugs, grow long hair or sleep around to rebel in their teenage years.
Simply buying an iPhone 3G should be quite enough to send Dad through the roof.

I use vista be Pc's all the time I personaly like them better then macs I find the user interface to be more friendly I do however like the iPhone being as I own one.
I guess I have always prefered Pc's over macs. Besides doesn't matter which one you use they will both take over the world C being dr. Evil and apple being number 2

Is this really news?
I mean, it isn't surprising as someone stated earlier that it would make microsoft look like a laughing stock.
If I owned a company and my rival has product that competes with mine, I wouldn't be happy if my wife and kids used the rivals product.
It's pure common sense.

What the devil are you going on about??

No iPod and iPhone for the Gates kids
found this bit quite funny. I guess it makes sense that he has to stick to his company's products, but does strike as a bit childish.
on the other end the article is interesting and you have to give to the Gates that they are doing some fantastic charity work.

Wtf are u talking about. Of course Windows is better. No just kidding, it has wider support and is more used and even though i switched to mac, i am much more comfortable using microsoft word and excel than pages and numbers (however keynote is great). By the way all u brainiacs saying mac is much better, I hope you realise that u are a minority.
I like mac os x and windows equally, mac has better interface and works faster while windows has its own advantages by being more popular

Interestingly he doesn't say macs are banned. I wonder what the policy is there.
I don't think it's so strange or childish. It's the least they can do to show a bit of support for teh Bill.
I can picture Steve Jobs being a hell of a lot more petty with his family and what's acceptable to him and what isn't.

It's really amazing how this urban legend still exist and believed by many Windows fanatics.
hehe true.
he's lucky that when he told to his family "no zunes in this house!" everybody rolled their eyes and said "du-uh"
That. Is. AWESOME. Heh!
