iPhone Is Banned in Bill Gates, Refuses To Buy Kids Anything Apple

Wonder if they have to use a zune or they can use another competitor other than apples offering. If I had a 0.1% of there wealth I would be tempted by Archos's offerings.
 
Oh oops I didn't read the whole article. The full quote:

“They go to parks, have playdates and sleep-overs. Melinda is fierce about this. There will be no bubble for them; these children will not turn out to be Paris Hilton.” Still, being a Microsoft child does carry unusual burdens. “There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household,” Gates tells me. “But iPods and iPhones are two things we don’t get for our kids.” Harsh, perhaps, but understandable. After all, it’s hard to walk around tethered to merchandise made by your father’s most famous competitor. Still, Gates acknowledges the inevitable lure of forbidden fruit. “Every now and then I look at my friends and say, ‘Ooh, I wouldn’t mind having that iPhone.’

Edit: Sig now changed. For bitchy win, see below:
