Bill Gates betaald Palmgebruik

[RoelvdV]

Citaat:

Palm Inc. and Alaska are working together to educate that state's school administrators on how to use handhelds with a goal of making them more efficient managers, thereby improving Alaska's education system. The administrators can buy a Palm handheld at a discount and then receive free training through the Palm Education Training Coordinator (PETC) program. The ironic part is the program is being funded by an $864,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill Gates is, of course, the chairman of Microsoft, which makes the rival Pocket PC OS.

I believe this. I just got done doing a research project on Bill Gates. His foundation, and his belief: He will support (obviously financially) any company, schooling, etc. that actively uses technology to complete tasks and stuff. It's been his dream since he was a little kid. It is quite funny though.

Groeten, Roel.

Zo vreemd was het toch niet. Op www.microsoft.be is te lezen dat Bill overeenstemming heeft bereikt met Palm om het Palm OS te kopen.
Grote onzekerheid in Palmland over wat er nu met hun geliefde OS gaat gebeuren........
