iPods and iPhones forbidden at Gates home
This is such bullshit. I mean, I don’t have any kids (yet!) but if I had a kid who was really big into web development, it would be the equivalent of telling him that he can’t use any other CMS but MODx. “Sorry, kid…no Drupal for you!” I may be a Mac pundit but I certainly would not deny my child of the things he/she might want. If my child really wanted a PC with Windows Vista on it, I’m not going to tell them,”Sorry, kid…Windows is not allowed in this household!”
If I was Bill Gates, I would allow my kids to use iPods and iPhones for the simple reason that it would allow me to get a better idea of the competition and actually see how they’re being used. The least Gates can do is explore some of these other products through the eyes of his kids.
Granted, Gates isn’t exactly a big part of Microsoft anymore…but he can sure as hell give some constructive feedback to Ballmer. Not knowing the competition is part of the reason why Microsoft is having such a hard time right now.
