Here's a shocker: Bill Gates doesn't like Apple products. In a recent
interview with the New York Times Magazine, Melinda Gates roundly refuted rumors that she and her billionaire husband own Mac laptops, and insisted that her children are still forbidden from owning iPods. The matriarch of the Gates household may still
dream of owning an iPod, but whenever one of her kids asks for one, her standard reply is, "You may have a Zune."
Surely, though, the Gates estate houses
some of Steve Jobs's gadgets, right? An errant iPhone? A box of iPads headed to Africa? Apparently not. "Nothing crosses the threshold of our doorstep," Melinda Gates assured. Well, they probably have
more important things to do with their money, anyway.

The difference between Steve Jobs' kids and Bill Gates' kids:
Steve Jobs' kids use Apple products out of choice, and don't use Zunes for the same reason.
Bill Gates' kids want to use iPods (and probably other Apple products too), but they are forced to use Zunes and other Microsoft crap against their will.
Gotta feel bad for Bill's kids.

Big deal, Why is this news? I bet Mrs.Ford drives a Ford and Sam Walton doesn't shop at Target.
