Bill Gates did a promotional video where he spoofs the Matrix. He plays Morpheus trying to free humanity from IBM. Anyone else find this amusing?

Bill Gates wrote:"We've got Steve-O indoctrinated," Gates said to nervous applause from the audience.
Interesting. Gates' desire to dominate must be so powerful he actually speaks them out loud without discretion.

I am reminded of Lenin freeing the people from the Czar.

Okay then:

You are unmable to fabricate this excretory sample...

As for the subject, I'm wondering what the hell is going on. When you control the vast majority of the computer market, I don't think you'll have to worry about IBM.

Bill Gates wants to control the computer market, not just the vast majority, IMO.

Correction: Vast majority of the Desktop PC market.

He is after the entire computer market and wants to branch out as well :D

Um... Shouldn't it be the other way around, making Microsoft the machines and IBM or any other competitor the humans trying to free us from the Microsoft Matrix....

That's sooo hilarious. If I were a multi-billionaire, hell.. I'd do something like that as well. Make an uber-hi tech version of a high school video project with your best buddy.

Um, yeah. Here's a link to part of the movie. ("Spoiler") Of course, the laptop running Linux crashes for no apparent reason and needs to have the kernel re-compiled. WTF?

Edit: Here's a (bad) shot of the "pills"
