As reported on OpenOffice.org: 'For an undisclosed sum but reputed to be in the billions, Microsoft's [a href="vny!://www.openoffice.org/"]Bill Gates has personally bought the leading open-source desktop project[/a].
Saying he "was sick and tired of open-source eating away at his profits," the world's richest man decided to put an end to the nuisance and simply buy OpenOffice.org. It will form part of a growing list of Microsoft acquisitions including several erstwhile competitors, a considerable number of prominent politicians, and a few small governments.'"
Eating away at his profits!!! How much is enough, anyway? He's already the richest man in the world, so why on earth would he want more?
