In my previous post I called Bill Gates a Liar. Well apparently he’s going out the way to prove me right. In a recent interview with Newsweek Gates makes the following astounding comment:
Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.
I suppose he is trying to twist the pathetic “Month of Apple Bugs” and equate it to a total exploit every day. The MOAB only had one vulnerability that could even remotely be called a “total exploit”.
This guy has truly gone off the deep end. In addition, in Gates’ bizzaro world now it was Apple who copied Vista features into OSX. OSX just got it to market faster since Microsoft was busy “securing” their OS.
You can go through and look at who showed any of these things first, if you care about the facts. If you just want to say, “Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along,” that’s fine. If you’re interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. I mean, it’s fascinating, maybe we shouldn’t have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done.
Sheesh. How do tech writers let Microsoft get away with statements like that? It is just shameful. I guess those “Mac Ads” must be really getting to Gates.
