I'd seriously doubt it if someone told me he didn't own one.

Spending a few grand to understand the competetion is certainly worthwile. I doubt he's a complete switcher, but I bet he uses a mac now and then.

How about: "The courts were all over my ass because Apple could not keep their head above water so I had to buy half of the company so that I would have some competition and not have my company split up against eachother." :p :D

how about no rcsskier.

if you had any history behind you, you would remember that in the early years, apple nearly crushed mircosoft because they basically infringed on every idea and copywrite apple owned.. but microsoft was the lil guy then.

I don't believe that gates owns any part of Apple. I am aware of the millions of dollars that Apple received from M$. But I don't remember any of the details. Will have to look it up.

actually.. M$ brought them out of a bad sitEEation... but I can see why apple would keep its best ideas down until M$ had its paws out.
