That will depend on the software developer, and if they renew their Extortion, er, um, License Agreements. This has happened in the past and is probably a direct result of Apple Computers Macintosh Line of computers that were just released which will run all your Windows Programs.

If it is anything like the past, everyone will have to upgrade their software, pay additional fee's so the end user actually pays the cost of Mr. Gates greed, instead of the software developer. Someone should inform Mr. Gates to be careful, the US Government put the Mafia out of business for using similar tactics because the Government couldn't take the competition.

Whether you want to look at it as extortion or a tax to make up for all of Mr. Gates recent losses on Wall Street doesn't really matter, the result is the same.

In a press release yesterday, Mr. Gates has decided to retire from Microsoft as the active CEO and step down into a position of director, or some such thing, so he can spend the rest of his days as a philanthropist.

Sheez, give me a break! Just goes to show you, he really is no better than Al Capone who opened homeless shelters and soup kitchens in the squaller of Chicago in order to win favor with the city leaders and press, who, were all on the take anyway.
