Bill Gates Goes Stupid
Posted February 2nd, 2007 @ 12:50pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Saying "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": dumb.
Daring hackers to attempt to do bad things to your OS: even dumber.
What, I've linked to the same small page? Yeah - because Gates said and did these things back to back, right after being dimwitted enough to mention Jim Allchin's name. You know, the guy who's been made famous for his "I'd buy a Mac" and "iLife kicks butt" emails from within Microsoft.

hackers 🙁 That is your word choice not his.
Bill does come across as arrogant. Hopefully good comes from his challenges.

I gotta tell ya, sometimes Bill says, and he and/or Microsoft does, some really stupid things.
"Every day," huh? I have yet to see a single legitimate worm/virus/exploit for OS X.

I'm particularly fond of the second line: "I don't think the over 90 percent of the [population] who use Windows PCs think of themselves as dullards, or the kind of klutzes that somebody is trying to say they are."
I'm sure there are short-buses full of people who don't know they're retarded, either. Not to say that everyone who uses Windows is a klutz or a dullard, but their opinions of themselves aren't remotely objective indicators of their actual klutziness and dullardity.
Let's just pretend "dullardity" is a word. You know, for argument's sake.
