So? and your point is?  Gates and/or his company was probably working
on the project at the time wasn't he?  Do you seem to think that Gates
is the only person who has been terribly wrong about predicting the
future?  

You are kind of putting yourself in a catch 22 here.  You are either
saying Gates was a moron for saying that because it turned out to be
totally wrong, or you are saying that Gates is an astounding prophet
since he was  exactly right.

Which one is it?

and the next question after you answer that one is "have you stopped
beating your wife?"
