Bill Gates mocks MIT's $100 laptop project
Big Bill didn’t have much good to say about MIT’s 100 dollar laptop at the Microsoft Government Leaders forum today.

It doesn’t take too much thinking to realise that its pretty hard to spend $300+ on a office suite that is going to run on a $100 PC.
The final ignominy for Bill is that these upstarts at Google and MIT insist on putting a Linux O/S on the thing so he can’t flog Microsoft Office even if he wanted too….
