You have GOT to be joking....

At a reception in Germany, Bill Gates said he was interested in buying Nintendo. Not "a" Nintendo. Nintendo the company.
Microsoft have gone into damage control, and Nintendo are denying the rumour. Microsoft didn't deny any of the quotes or conversations from the German magazine's story though. They claim it was all in jest, but knowing how Microsoft operate, you've got to wonder. Are they planning to buy out Nintendo as a way of shutting down half the competition the loss-making abomination that is X-box?
I take issue with one of the phrases in the article : Microsoft's superior hardware. So wait - selling off-the-shelf computer commodity parts for massive losses is superior hardware?

That's so typical of Microsoft.
If you can't beat'em, buy'em and close 'em down.

Can we say "alienate"?
