No. Gates is a hardware junkie who believes that everybody should have the latest and greatest hardware -- or they shouldn't be computing. The power of algorithms is not something which appeals for him, and the trouble of upgrading XP to demand Vista-like hardware is really too much to be worth M$'s while.After all, they got the OLPC project to upgrade their hardware so they could put a version of Windows on it -- and they still haven't finished their port of Windows.
