Bill Gates Prepares To Unmask "Un-American" Open Source Members (With Pics)

by , 12:10 PM EST, March 6th, 2001

Last month, Microsoft's operating systems chief, Jim Allchin, made comments to the effect that the Open Source movement was a threat to the American Way of Life. Your editor published a column about this on Friday, and that, in turn has uncovered some incredible photo documentary "evidence" indicating that Microsoft Chairman (an ironic title in light of these allegations) Bill Gates is preparing to unmask those spending their time in the Open Source movement.

"I have in my hand a list of 205 cases of individuals who appear to be
either card-carrying members, or are certainly loyal to the Open Source
Movement."

"Are you now, or have you ever been,
a user of the Linux operating system?"

Look for the hearings to start as soon as Microsoft's antitrust trial is wrapped up. Thanks to Observer Jeff Kievlan for his "investigative" efforts!

The Mac Observer Spin:

Wink Wink. :-) Here's hoping that Chairman Gates has a sense of humor. Here's also hoping that Microsoft never, ever pull out this FUD tactic ever again. It really is pathetic.
