Can anyone here confirm that Bill Gates is owner/part owner of Apple computers?

I keep hearing this from a few people.

Microsoft invested 150 million dollars in Apple Computers in 1997. From that day on there have been connection between Apple and Microsoft.

My first computer was a

and it ran MS Word 3.0 quite happily.
My first sequencer was Dr T's. Not bad at all. I've nothing against PC's, just all the wasted years between 1996 and 2001, trying to get hardware and software to do all it promised.
I'd fucking change back to Mac in a flash if I had the cash to invest in the software. The latest Macs are simply awesome.

Well I have made the switch at work to Ubuntu now, using open office etc. I have Ubutuntu on this computer as well, but I don't use it as much as the software I need at home is for XP.

One thing is for certain though....
More supoort for Ubuntu and Vista is in trouble. Ubuntu is really a nice, safe OS to use!

Take a look at this for more MS blues.

I should try out Ubuntu. Fedora Core 5 is the only Linux version I've used and every second I used that OS I wanted to kill people and other living beings.

Kids, if you think you're using a crappy OS, try out Fedora Core. It'll blow your mind. After a test drive even consuming poo sounds more appealing than using Fedora Core. "I think I'll check my e-mail..." *after ten hours of configuring* "Ok. So now I got the program running. Now just some account tweaking..."

I think it is a matter of how you want to approach your computer. If you like to install things, make things work together and have a challange on your hand, you are perfectly fine with a PC. If you just want to switch it on and work with it, you need a Mac. It is just that easy.

It's statements like these that keep me convinced that all mac users are fags.
