Bill Gates Puts Classic Feynman Lectures Online

theodp writes "Okay Tux fans, let's see how badly you want to see Feynman's Messenger Lectures on Physics. Bill Gates has the goods over at Microsoft Research's Project Tuva site. Also, CNET's Ina Fried has an interesting interview with Gates. He goes into why he spent his own money to make a series of classic physics lectures available free on the Web, talks about the possibility of Project Natal bringing gesture recognition to Windows, gives his thoughts on Google's Chrome OS, and discusses plans to patent 'cows that don't fart.' The last is a joke. I think."

This is fantastic--Bill Gates has finally come around to supporting Linux, even in a non-technical way. This is so important to the history of our operating system. Time to boot up 2.6.36, load iTunes via WINE, and listen away!
