Bill Gates is a funny guy. As pointed out by the CTO of Opera Software in this Register article, Gates' statement on interoperability is, well, a joke. The world leader in broken browsers, busted standards, non-compatibility, grabbing free and open standards and making them proprietary, is talking about interoperability. And doing it on a page that lists, at latest count (20:26GMT 14-Feb-2005) 42 errors according to the W3C validator.
And some of the errors are ridiculous, like having multiple <HTML> declarations in the page, stuff you should learn in high-school web page classes.
If you want a laugh, heres the page:
Executive E-Mail: Bill Gates on Interoperability
Bottom line? You can't trust these bastards, don't even think about it.
