Who is Hu?
Hu Jintao is the Communist dictator of China.
"And if you ever need advice on how to use Wkindows, I'll be glad to help."
There goes Bill Gates's time. "Hey Bill, how about offering that to the pukes you sold your stuff to?"
I wonder if he is going to get an award from Hu.
It would kinda be like when Ford got Germany's highest decoration for foreigners, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, in July 1938.
"I certainly look forward to the extension of your cooperation with China," Hu said.
Hmmmmmmm. Wonder what it was that Bill Gates cooperated about.
Gates is in a no win situation, either lower the cost of the OS to China or they will pirate it. At least this way he gets something, and also keeps marketshare.
Hu's On First
My thought exactly. Perhaps a little help with China's little problem with the Internet?
Bill Gates, Bill Clinton. Do the Chinese have a thing for Bills?
Let us not forget where microsoft manufactures its xboxes.
How many jobs Gates could have created in the US if he made them here??? He is beholden to the yellow devils.
You just reminded me of a time when I almost threw my remote at the TV set a few months ago.
It was on TV when Bill Gates was asked that question and he gave an answer to the effect of that if he made them in America, it would cost alot more and fewer americans would enjoy it, so by producing them overseas, he is giving more americans the chance to have his products.
He didn't answer the follow up question about how much more expensive they would have been if made in the US or what he would have had to charge.
At least Ford had the gift of God to later renounce it along with his vicious anti-semestism.
Hey, let's cut the guy some slack; he's only got more money than the combined Gross National Products of Malaysia, the Philippines, Belgium, the Netherlands, Monaco, and Paraguay rolled into one. He probably figures he'll need a little extra for his retirement.
The vast majority of Gates' charity goes abroad, esp. India, where he and his wife just visited and contributed millions. These elitist assholes (corporate, academia, msm etc)are globalists and forget where they "made it". Good old f#$K the USA attitude.

This guy can do nothing right with people. He was criticized a few years ago for not donating enough and now that his is he is criticized anyway. We are lucky to have him. What would computers be like without him. I for one appreciate what he does even if I don't agree with everything. People are just plain nasty to the guy.
I respect your opinion, but do not forget that Gates monoplized the Windows operating system and crushed any competition resulting in anti-trust lawsuits.
The big deceit continues.
Those who run China are unelected, brutal, murdering dictators.
There is no evidence trading with China is moving the Chinese people any closer to the freedom to talk and act with the liberty they have so long been denied.
In fact, people like Bill Gates are helping the murderers put more controls on the freedoms of the Chinese people.
Hell must have a special reserved section for Americans reaping profits from Chinese tyranny.
American businessmen have become partners with Satan in the brutal Chinese tyranny they encourage to continue.
Gates, you hypocrite. You are one of the richest men on Earth and you want to become richer on the backs of a long-suffering and imprisoned people.
Gates and his fellow businessmen are a disgrace to freedom and the proud history of liberty in America. They covet all possible liberty for themselves while offering none to the brutalized and enslaved people of China who are helplessly imprisoned with generous American financing.
Gates should see his Redmond, Washington, Microsoft program developers arrested and thrown in prison for their free thinking. Then, he'd have a taste of what he is encouraging in China.
His main software product should be called "Windows of Tyranny," or "Barred Windows."
Bill Gates is the "chief software architect" at Microsoft - and he has been a disaster in that role. Modern computers would be better and cheaper if Bill Gates never existed.
It's good that Microsoft has made a lot of people wealthy, but their products are low quality crap. Like network television, Windows is a vast wasteland.
