i always wonder about this stuff. I mean If i woked at Sony/Msoft/Nintendo, do i want my house filled with products that is not from out company.

The Walton's who own Walmart only shop at WALMART. This is no surprise.

Why would he support his competitors products?

Is this really surprising? Why would you purchase products from the competition?

If I was the owner of a company, I wouldn't buy my competitors products either.

Sure, unless you're spoiled ungreatful brat that would rather publicly humiliate his father than survive without ipod

Microsoft doesn't really see itself as competing against the iPhone (yet, at least)... the iPhone's pretty clearly a consumer device, while most WinMo phones are business devices.Makari

MS itself might not be aiming at that market, but the cell manufacturers who use WinMO have been for quite some time and succeeding.AdrianWerner

Nah, i bet he has competitor products. Why? beside to enjoy the product, he can analyze and know better about his competitor. Nothing worse than not knowing your competitor. The less you know about the competitor, the less you know what danger comes to you.

All I can say is I love my 80GB Ipod.TheGreatOutdoor

Bill Gates - Hey son I bought you a new Ipod to replace your Zune.

Little Boy Gates - Thanks dad! I always wanted one and that Zune kind of sucked.

Bill Gates - Oh son wanna see daddy's new Iphone? It has MS word on it.

What a perfect world this would be. :roll:

interesting, i kind of knew that but still. so does that mean he doesn't use any products of sony? sony tv, sony stereo, DVD player, blue ray. what if his son wants to play little big planet or killzone 2? iam2green

If I owned a company & my product has a competitor, I would buy my competitor's product & see what they have done right & wrong. Making improvements & adjustments on my own product to make it better. I mean it's a business, it's competition. If you're gonna have a one track mind & be "brand loyal" & not see what the other competitor's product has to offer then you shouldn't be in this business. As far as what Bill Gates is doing is fine within his judgement. He just doesn't want anyone in his family to use an iPod or the iPhone. I'm sure he's got one somewhere & he's anaylzing & trying to make improvements of his own future toys.
