It looks like you&#x27;re probably just trying to troll, but to head off additional discussion: Gates has some stuff mis-attributed to him and the very next day after initial reports, Gates disputed reports that he backs the FBI in the Apple dispute:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;videos&#x2F;2016-02-23&#x2F;gates-disputes-report-that-he-backs-fbi-in-apple-dispute" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;videos&#x2F;2016-02-23&#x2F;gates-disput...</a><p>A better troll might&#x27;ve pointed out the disparity between Microsoft supporting Apple&#x27;s stances and the circumstantial evidence that seems to indicate that Microsoft actively worked with the NSA to backdoor its services (Outlook.com, Skype, etc)
