turgid's Journal: Ask Bill Gates

Perhaps you have always wanted to know what the inspiration was behind Windows. Maybe you want to know what it is like being one of the world's richest men. Or maybe you are more interested in the philanthropic career he has planned after he steps down.

Courtesy of the BBC, here is your big chance to get Bill Gates to answer all those awkward^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hsycophanic questions you always wanted to ask.

Who was first at Xerox PARC: Apple or Microsoft? How has Windows and Microsoft software advanced human civilisation, does he feel he's earned the money, and how about the time he gave India nearly four times as much money to fight Linux and FOSS than he did to fight AIDS? Will he now become the first paying space tourist?

Ho hum.
