Bill Gates Inadvertently Shows Off Ubuntu on His Facebook Page
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. |

I question the use of the word "inadvertently".
Bill knows the difference between a Windows desktop and Linux desktop.
Promoting Ubuntu? It really looks like the only thing he's promoting is hope of a better life by bridging the digital divide. If that's achievable with Windows and/or Linux, more power to him.

But he'd prefer that it actually be achieved with Windows.
Personally, I suspect that if you're not a Linux fan, you're probably not even going to notice what OS is being used on the computer screen in that picture.
All Bill wants is to use a modern OS.
