But I guess if promoting Vista was the point of the visit to The Daily Show, then he might have told Jon Stewart not to ask about the B&M Gates Foundation. Perhaps he'll ask him to come back at a future date to talk about that kind of thing, now that they've had him on once? But man, Gates sure was acting the part of the salesman, wasn't he? I guess Microsoft realizes that a huge chunk of its target customer base watches the Daily Show and thus wanted to reach them/us. But a little philanthropy discussion thrown in might have helped too.manganesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233506819446856090noreply@blogger.com
