Scoble. What? Can you explain what you mean?
I too was trying to figure out Bill Gates “communist” remarks (see Boing Boing, who is having a bit of fun with that meme) but then I saw this article and it all made sense.
Gates mentioned that there “are some new modern-day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for musicians and moviemakers and software makers under various guises. They dont think that those incentives should exist”. At no point did he mention PC’s or Linux, he was talking intellectual property, copyright and patents. The article you point to discusses IBM’s deal with Lenovo, and how it was a smart move to gain PC, server and services penetration into a massive growing market.
Slow down Scoble. I think you’re suffering information overload.
