I doubt it was billg for real... Im sure his Outlook Calendar doesnt leave him with much time for chatting :-]

he was all defending his monopoly and everything with saying his people have a choice to buy what they want(..)

If its about consumerism thats a contradiction. Unless he meant micro$oft buying other companies :-]

i whispered him and told him what we all believe here: that the open source project is holy, that he should stay away from linux,

I dont believe its holy and itll never be.
Holyness aint one of the pillars of Open Source development.
And AFAIK no sane person will disallow billg from stepping into the Linux' waters. The more diverse micro$ofts' attention, the better (divide & rule, eh?).

i suggested that he make an open source kernel and put his proprietory junk on it, like mac os x, then he can appeal to the open source community and people wouldnt hate him

Plz go
RTM on Linux advocacy. Giving in to FUD and Microsoft bashing arent positive ways to advertise the OS community.

Bash! Bash! Ure a Big Boy now! yeehaw!
I guess u aint doin no professional work involving different agencies & companies. Sure, I aint no fan of Clippy, but being able to choose which tasks I perform on what platform more efficiently Im glad to have both Microsoft and Linux.
The standarization Microsoft has brought, however despicable from ure POV, still saves me time & money.
And money buys me time to support projects that advertise good usage of linux solutions within the corporate world.
*Anyway, I don't think it was billg, but I couldnt resist answering anyway :-]
