Microsoft's Matrix
In a lighter moment, which has become a traditional part of Gates' keynote speech at Comdex, he showed a spoof of The Matrix with Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer cast as Neo and himself as Morpheus. Some might think The Matrix is an odd choice for Microsoft to parody since the movie is about the human race being enslaved by malevolent cyberintelligence, basically software. Neo, a hacker, joins Morpheus and his group to destroy The Matrix. In Microsoft's version, The Matrix is a world filled with IT consultants working for IBM and selling Linux, while the world outside The Matrix is Windows, which "frees the IT masses," Gates says in the parody. http://www.tabletpctalk.com/picture...003billg2.shtml __________________ Made by the awesome BakaXero

Frankly, I give Gates credit for having the balls to do that precisely BECAUSE so many people would see him as the System rather than the Liberator!

True, to call Gates Merv would be an isult to Merv, therefore, I have no idea where to place Gates. Oh, yeah, Gates doesn't belong in the Matrix. ITS AN INSULT!!!!!
