I don't know if any of you all have seen this wallpaper, but I like it. It is full of words of wisdom.

(Hopefully, I was able to upload the image correctly.)

I'd like to see what Bill Gates thinks about my computer set up right now. I have my MacBook with this wallpaper on it. I have my old Dell Dimension 300 and I'm using Flyakite as the desktop theme. Finally, I have my other Dell E510 with this wallpaper on it again. Bill would probably love it. Michael Dell even more so.

Looks like it's "Pick on Bill Gates Day" at Mac-forums.

Ha ha ha ha! Yesterday I was at the local MicroCenter. The guy behind me was holding one of the new curvy packages of Office 2007. The temptation to uh, comment - yeah, that's the word, comment - was pretty high. I resisted however. I figured he probaby already installed Vista on his machine.

I'm sure he reads from the book of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

So cute! Didn't know those were available. I still respect Bill Gates...please no rotten tomatoes;>) I just don't want to use his computer!

Well, that's not too irrational. I assume that everyone in the forum wishes they were Bill Gates.

D3v1l80y, where did you get that Vista wallpaper from? I would like to download a full size version and send it to my brother, who just two weeks ago ignored my advice to get a Mac and bought a new Vista equipped PC.

Guess what? His DVD hardware won't work, his printer driver won't work, his Microsoft Flight Sim won't start at all, his throttle controller for it isn't even recognized... the list goes on and on. He still professes to be happy, understanding that he is on "the bleeding edge".

In the interests of family peace, I am trying really, really hard not to say "I told you so"! I am biting my tongue so hard it is starting to hurt! This wallpaper would be a "fun" way of getting the message across! :black:

OK, thanks! If I find it, I will repost it here so that others may put it to nefarious uses as well! Cheers.

OK, I haven't found it yet, but I did find this:

VISTA stands for?

I find this hillarious, although not true, but will surely give Mac-supporters a smile.

VISTA = Viruses, Intruders, Spyware, Trojans & AdWare
VISTA = Various Improvements Similar To Apple’s
I particularly like the second one!

These are claimed to be real photos:
Microsoft Corp. in the 70s. He is on the lower left.
His real mug shot after an arrest in 1977.
When he was very young.
