This whole Gates testimony is infuriating.

 From <http://www.eastsidejournal.com/sited/story/html/89976>:

Or forcing Microsoft to make 4,096 versions of it, as Gates calculated in his written testimony. 

...

``If you take all the permutations, then instead of Windows XP Home and Professional, the number of different combinations gets (huge),'' Cherry said. In terms of the time and cost involved, he added, ``You can't support that.''
