Anyone want to join me in starting a business that will keep track of market
share for poor Mr. Gates...

<< GATES SAYS HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MARKET SHARE WINDOWS HAS  
 In the a taped pre-trial deposition in the government's antitrust suit
 against his company, Microsoft chief executive Bill Gates said that he
 doesn't know the market share of his Windows products, that nobody at the
 world's largest software company is responsible for tracking that figure,
 and that "there's not some unified effort" within Microsoft to determine how
 many computer users have Windows, the company's flagship product and its
 second-largest source of revenue after the Office software collection.
 Government lawyers hope to demonstrate a contradiction between those
 responses and statements found in company documents.  (Washington Post 16
