The Seattle Times for Thursday, January 29 included a story on Barbara 
Walters' interview of Bill Gates, which is to air tomorrow night on ABC. 
Here's a highlight of Paul Andrews' article:

"The first night in his new house, Gates told Walters, he watched a 
big-screen TV that pops out of a console in his bedroom. But things went 
awry when he tried to go to sleep.

" 'He couldn't get it to go down, he couldn't get it to turn off, so he 
just put a big blanket over the thing,' she said. Gates has joked that 
everything from light switches to music speakers goes on and off 
unexpectedly in the house, which is run by a high-end PC network built on 
Microsoft's Windows NT system."

Now, as a consumer, I'm thinkin', if the product won't work for the head 
hancho of the company, why would it want to work for me?!

For more of the article, including Walters' critique of Gates' singing 
voice (!), head for:
