Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof

Posted by simoniker on from the he-knows-kung-fu dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Eweek, Bill Gates' keynote speech at this year's Comdex showed Microsoft's 'focus on security, spam and [the] tablet PC', including a new version of its Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, an extension of the SmartScreen Technology for spam prevention, and the next version of the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system. But the showstopper was a filmed spoof of The Matrix (screencaps available here), with Gates and Steve Ballmer as Morpheus and Neo respectively, and including a jab at Linux."

    Ah, you're right. You just wrote "stuff" that the Wachowski brothers copied. Sophia wrote the never-published (but definitely stolen) story, possibly available on the internet, while you just wrote stuff on the internet which was stolen.

    How silly of me to get those confused. :)

    Care to try again? Maybe you need some glasses?

    Longhorn was in the spoof for no reason

    I'm all for open source, only Gates is at the laffing at me stage which puts him ahead of GNU/Linux, which is ignoring me....Not totally cause there is some attention...maybe enough to know I tried to tell....

    There is a difference between being arrogant and just plain lying. MS lies....where does that leave GNU/Linux
