Microsoft Lusts Nintendo, To Little Avail

Posted by simoniker on from the first-date-nerves dept.

Though this news seems to have been part of a theoretical 'what if' question, the story reports: "'If Hiroshi Yamauchi phones me up, i will pick up at once,' Gates told WirtschaftsWoche magazine on the sidelines of an analyst conference."
