Joe, I gotta say that I know William personally, and I will vouch for him 
100%. Friends don't always have to agree with one another. The fact that 
William chooses a Linux Users Group as his medium for defending Bill Gates 
may seem a little unusual, but I think it's borne more from a sense of 
frustration about developing viable models for successful business in the 
Linux realm.

I think we'd all like to see Linux as successful as Microsoft has been. And 
I think we will.
