Since we're on the topic of hypocrisy (VS and Windows on  his laptop), it 
might interest people to know that Abdul Kalam, India's president, so 
famous for apparently having ticked off Bill G. and advocating free 
software for countries like India, uses non-free software, incl. MS 
PowerPoint. See http://www.presidentofindia.nic.in/S/html/speeches/
others/ict.pps. and http://www.presidentofindia.nic.in/S/html/speeches/
others/FICCI.pps.

His site (www.presidentofindia.nic.in) designed and hosted by NIC, 
uses a lot of non-free s/w, incl. Macromedia Flash.

So much for dreaming and igniting passions.
