Made the jump to a mac but still madly in love (or stuck in a love-hate relationship) with the Microsoft originals? Finding the Mac to be too easy or glitch free? Don't worry all your favourite lag-heavy-slow-down-full-of-glitches Microsoft programs are available on the Mac too. And this is the site to give you all the information on it.

The Future According to Gates
http://www.ameinfo.com/33384.html
A very interesting article outlining an interview with Microsoft CEO Bill Gates about how he sees the future of the company and technology as a whole. The most entertaining factor of this interview is that it took place in 2004 and in these 4 years since, many of his future endeavors have lost their footing.

More Future According to Gates
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/240541_gates14ww.html
Another very interesting article regarding the future of Microsoft. Gates also discusses the competitive market with such companies as Google and Apple. Though more recent than the former, this article is also a couple of years old but is still interesting to get a sense of Gates' views. CIN Rating: 7

A brief but interesting article trying to explain why some people feel the way they do. Though I do not necessarily agree with the opinion presented it is an interesting take as well as several of the comments.

great compilation of links though i think it might be more effective for someone looking for information if there was an introduction and they were divided into topical categories within the major topic of Microsoft!
