The Internet is abuzz today after Bill Gates published an image on his Facebook page and a link towards his website with the text "15 years from now, most people in poor countries will be able to take classes online." It's a sound goal and it's perfectly doable, but in the image posted on Facebook the operating system is Ubuntu.

As a former Microsoft CEO and the founder of what we call today Windows, you might think that he would pay a little more attention towards his message, but this particular detail has slipped past the radar of the ones posting on Facebook, unless he did that himself, which would be even funnier.

    I was referring to the comments left on the facebook page. Sorry, I should have made that clear. No accusations were meant to be leveled at SN'ers.

    However, I do have one now for Mr. Anonymous Coward. Fsck off. An anonymous coward is the last type of poster that should be complaining about trolls.
